Description

A subversively cozy Japanese murder mystery meets a Groundhog Day-style time loop in this slick, funny debut. When a teenager in the wealthy Fuchigami family, Hisataro, is forced to relive the same day again and again—against his will—he discovers that his strange ability may be the only way to understand a grandfather’s sudden death and the inheritance that follows. As each reset peels back new clues and shifting motives, the household becomes a maze of suspects where every conversation and detail matters. With its witty, lighthearted tone and ingenious plotting, this novel explores fate versus choice, the ethics of second chances, and how truth can hide in plain sight—delivering the kind of clever, puzzle-driven suspense that fans of classic whodunits and time-bending mysteries will relish.
