A mystery lover's delight--

This particular series is short and sweet, combining mystery and books -- in this case, the setting of a library and also a person who restores books together, while adding a unique twist from the amateur detective solving the mysteries a unique quirk for solving the mysteries, but add in an overarching plot that ties everything together in the end, this particular series will make for a quick read for quite a few mystery lovers out there.

And yes, everything does end up tying together in the end. Some of course may find it predictible, but there is always the question I thiink ... among mystery readers about whether the mystery is predictable because the myystery is one where anybody can predict, or whether it is predictable because the mystery reader is that well read, and this I believe falls into the latter.

The artwork really kept me on hook. I love the romantic style: Bundo working on a piece alone at the basement; the scenes between chapters with him and roses surrounded by books. Overall I'ts pretty stylish and the "dark academia" vibes kinda reminds of death note. The premise of Bundo's ability and how he uses it to solve crimes shine. Runamu Kinashi does a great job showing the reader creative ways this power can be used, subverting the expectations. The cases were nice to follow and, as I'm not the type to try to solve them before the character, many times I've been surprised by ... the twists — which I believe are another great point of the manga.
Although it would be nice to see these concepts developed a little more, Kinashi created very well clever puzzles to be solved by our characters and presented them through a very cool aesthetic.
