SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 4 recap

SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 4, titled Suspicious Summer Part 1, commenced with a focus on the school where everyone was reading Takahiro's latest prediction of the arson. While this happened, Takahiro smirked inside the student council room, hoping everything would go according to his prediction.

Since he was now the future student council president, he had collected a set of students to help him in the arson investigation. These students were smart and got a gist of what Takahiro was looking for. As night fell, everyone dispersed to different locations of Takahiro's next prediction site, hoping to catch the arsonist.

As Takahiro was patrolling the area, Osanai called him and predicted that he might be where he was because she knew Takahiro. However, Takahiro denied letting go of the case. Before their call disconnected, Osanai said something that wasn't delivered properly. On the other hand, the arsonist fled after setting a bunch of bicycles on fire, adding to Takahiro's anger.

On the other hand, Kobato called one of Takahiro's new guys and asked him about Takahiro's duties. Kobato then enjoyed a date with Tokiko, where she considered Kobato's looking into small issues something irritating. Even though Kobato tried to defend his case, things didn't go well, and the rising tension between them was visible.

What to expect from SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 5 (speculative)?

The title of SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 5 is yet to be revealed. The next episode might see the reaction from the school to Takahiro's latest article in the school newspaper.

Moreover, as hinted from the previous episode's climax, one of Takahiro's subordinates might have done some meddling with his article, which Takahiro failed to notice. So, SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 5 might shed light on it too and emphasize the rising tension between Kobato and Tokiko.
