The great detective who once conquered the world is making a comeback together with a modern idol detective. This book vividly paints “aging”, the destiny of humans through the two detectives, and it is also the winner of the 23rd Tetsuya Ayukawa Award.

Since I haven’t really had mystery novels before, I was worried that I wouldn’t understand, but when I had the chance to read a copy, I was drawn in by the developments and the characters’ deep knowledge, and despite being a beginner, I finished it all at once. Personally, I like Mikan’s design the most (the girl with the black-framed glasses). Without question.
