Japanese Mystery Sogen Suiri Bunko / Kandajinbocho -- The history of this area started in the Edo period as the residence of hatamoto (direct retainers of the shogun). In the Meiji period, it became a cultural student town crowded with many schools. It developed as a town of ancient manuscript with the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. One year after the end of the war, this area was recovering. In one corner of the town, a second hand bookstore owner passed away unannounced. The man was crushed by a collapsed mountain of ancient manuscript and faced an ironic end as if he had been killed by a tool of trade. Lamenting the man whom he had known for a long time, 琴岡 Shōji, who is also a second hand bookstore owner, takes charge of the post-processing -- a long mystery that can be called the true worth of the author who is a Naoki Award winner.
