"The Detective Isn't in the Classroom" Kohei Kawasumi Price: ¥1500 #KoheiKawasumi #Kohei_Kawasumi #Books #JapaneseLiterature/Novels/Stories I, Mafumi Umina, have a slightly unusual childhood friend. He was a child who was strangely precocious and sharp-witted since kindergarten. We hadn't seen each other for a long time since we went to different elementary schools. I thought he was a strange kid, but since becoming a middle schooler, it seems he doesn't go to school much for some reason. However, one day, regarding an anonymous love letter that arrived at my place, I and he—Ayumu Torikai—reunite after nine years. Four stories that capture the moment when boys and girls open new doors through the small mysteries they encounter in their daily lives. The 28th Ayukawa Tetsuya Award-winning work, unanimously recommended by the selection committee, marking the debut of a new writer in youth mystery. --- "The Detective Isn't a Friend" Kohei Kawasumi Price: ¥680 #KoheiKawasumi #Kohei_Kawasumi #Books #JapaneseLiterature/Novels/Stories My childhood friend, Mafumi Umina, Ayumu Torikai, for some reason doesn't go to middle school, is sharp-witted but has a free-spirited personality and isn't straightforward. But when I, troubled by a strange mystery, visit him with sweets, he solves it just by listening to the story. He's a weirdo, but a reliable detective. In the days when I bring new mysteries to Ayumu—the cipher quiz at the Western confectionery shop and the strange events in the art room—I think. We, connected as client and detective, can't be called friends. But I want to see Ayumu even without a mystery, and I cherish him more than a friend... A youth mystery set in Sapporo, the second installment!
