▶ Yokomizo Seishi Set Part 1 / Kosuke Kindaichi: Full-Length Novels Classic mysteries can be off-putting to both beginners and experts, but they're actually quite interesting when you read them again. Even for those who have only seen the adaptations, you might find them surprisingly enjoyable. However, the writing style is similar to Gaston Leroux, so it might not be for everyone. Personally, I find the author's phrasing interesting. Phrases like "inky black" or "u-fu-fu (laughter)" and the frequent use of English are very Showa-era. Also, since he uses many words that are not often heard today, it's very educational. Wherever Kosuke Kindaichi goes, there's always a hint of a case. All are from the original editions and do not have ISBNs. All are rare with their original obi (paper bands). Since they are old, the price can be significantly higher with the obi, so perhaps this is for collectors. These books are from the early to mid-Showa era, so there is considerable yellowing. There are no problems with reading them. Shipping is undecided, but it will be anonymous. However! I am currently rereading them before decluttering, so shipping will be after I finish reading. Please be aware that it may take about a week. The numbering is based on the spine of the Kadokawa editions. The prices are based on online references. 1.
