The longest and shortest books I have read in Japanese so far.
Book review: 『アキラとあきら』 by Jun Ikeido
My first ever business novel and one of my favourite books read in Japanese!

Reading plans, book haul and new site design!

I mostly read manga in March! I am also keeping up with my 2021 reading challenge, and I read my first Jun Ikeido 🙂
Book review: 『蜘蛛男』 by Edogawa Rampo
『蜘蛛男』 is the first novel in the Kogoro Akechi series. A suspenseful battle against the most devilish villain we have seen so far!
Detective series I am reading
This is a list of all the detective series I am reading or want to read.
Book review: 『むかし僕が死んだ家』 by Keigo Higashino
A nice mystery novel with a slow start that becomes quite addictive the more the story goes on.
Book review: 『聖女の救済』 by Keigo Higashino
This is the 5th book of the Galileo series but only the second novel (with The Devotion of Suspect X). This is an excellent howdunnit that has been translated into English by Alexander O. Smith under the title Salvation of a Saint
Book review: 『密室に向かって撃て！』 by Tokuya Higashigawa
This is the second book of the Ikagawa series. Not as good as the first one in my opinion, but still an enjoyable read.
February wrap up
I haven’t read as much as I wanted in February, and I have been disappointed by some of my readings too.
Book review: 『一寸法師｜何者』 by Edogawa Rampo
This is the second book in the Kogoro Akechi series. It contains two novellas: 一寸法師 and 何者.
Book review: 『祈りの幕が下りる時』 by Keigo Higashino
This book is the tenth book of the Kaga series and one of the best!
