The Flow of Mystery
Today was another busy Monday.
I read other people's notes during my lunch break or before going to bed.
I mentioned this the other day, but I love slightly offbeat expressions and playful writing. I love wordplay.
While reading the notes of people I follow, it just so happened that two people this month posted about Honobu Yonezawa.
Honobu Yonezawa is famous for the Classic Literature Club series, and
in the past, Kyoto Animation adapted it into a TV anime titled "Hyouka".
I also really love "The Kudryavka Sequence".
I got curious about Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" which appears in the work, so I rented the movie adaptation and watched it.
The other day, Honobu Yonezawa's "A Cup of Coffee for Spring" series was also adapted into an anime, and people were posting about that on their notes too.
I haven't seen it yet. I need to watch it too.
Let me talk about my favorite mystery novels here.
Tokuya Higashigawa's Ika-gawa City series
!
When I first saw it at a bookstore, I bought it just because I thought, "Oh, I recognize this art style... it's Keiichi Arawi from Nichijou."
Well, it was so interesting. I love the words and phrasing too much.
It's a mystery, but it's sprinkled with gags that make you chuckle here and there, and foreshadowing, so I never get bored reading it. Many of you should know the same author's "The After-Dinner Mysteries"!
I really want you to read this series too...
was adapted into an anime, wasn't it?
I haven't seen it, so if anyone has, please let me know what you thought.
Oh, by the way, I watched the
movie "Don't Call It Mystery" the other day. Honestly, I underestimated Masaki Suda's acting ability; it was amazing and damn interesting. 👏
