Mystery blogger at Solving the Mystery of Murder, unpublished hobbyist locked-room mystery writer, studying Japanese to translate (shin-)honkaku mysteries.
Woah, what? I wrote something for my blog?
Here I review the first volume of a relatively new mystery comic book series called Ron Kamonohashi, which has received praise from such authors as Rintaro Norizuki, one of the Japanese disciples of Ellery Queen.

Yeah, I decided I was done having integrity in the eyes of the mystery-reading public with this negative-skewed review of Berkeley's classic...
To cut to the chase, the art on this one might not be the most cutting-edge, but you don't need to be the sharpest tool in the shed to get the point of this Japanese fantasy-fairplay mystery hybrid('s sword)!
@ArmchairSleuth's Murder Every Monday - Theme: sword, knife, dagger
Part of me is a little suspicious @ArmchairSleuth chose her current theme to punish me for my Japanese mystery submissions. 🤔 I couldn't find a single J-mystery in my collection with a single-word title, so I hope some Pronzini suffices!

For @ArmchairSleuth's #MurderEveryMonday we have a cover with poison on it. Put your knowledge of Brothers Grimm to the test to figure out where the poison is in this fairy tale murder mystery!
An undeservedly overlooked gem of Japanese murder mysteries... Consistently clever, and entirely original mystery plots, complete with brilliantly structured and faithful courtroom battles! A shocking piece of gold where I didn't expect to find it!

For @ArmchairSleuth, three Japanese mystery novels from Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! #murdereverymonday
日曜日の沈黙 - Sunday Silence
日曜の夜は出たくない - I Don't Wanna Go Out on Sunday Night
日曜は憧れの国 - On Sunday, the Land of our Dreams
Check out the upcoming "Little Locked Rooms", a mystery video game built entirely around the concept of solving locked-rooms -- yes, TRUE locked rooms -- by reconstructing them through miniature diagrams! It seems promising; keep your eye on it!
Sometimes criminals make sneaky moves in the shadows...
In the Investigation Mode, you'll be able to turn off the lights and reveal exactly what the crime scene looked like. This info will be vital to make the right deductions.

My amazing, sweet-hearted fiance @tealoviie has been having a hard time of it lately! I love her so much and she's brought so much light to my life, so I'm very sad she's been going through so much and I've been helpless to help! I love you, Eri, you deserve only the best!
A little late to @ArmchairSleuth's #MurderEveryMonday, but...
Fire! In the candlelight of 春ゆきてレトロチカ ("As Spring Passes, Retrotica" aka, "The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story"), and framing the bottle of Kobayasahi Yasumi's ティンカーベル殺し (The Murder of Tinker Bell)!
