Wow, was this bad. It is not only that it makes no sense whatsoever, an army of big bad clones is just one of its sins, or that characters behave in a way that makes no sense why would Yui answer Haruka's 'father' 's mail about their whereabouts? , it also is poorly written, relies on the, look, last chapter's page twist!, and on the unreliable main character: is he imagining things? (a trope that should be forbidden). That this won anything belies belief, as much as the short text praising the author, his writing style and the story that comes at the end of the book (it is pretty common in Japanese books to have a mixture of explanation/commentary written by another author, the translator...). It almost makes as little sense as the book.

Recycle.

The best: as with many modern novels, it is easy to read

The worst: it is one of those books whose characters make no sense and that seems to have been written by AI

Alternatives: read the shopping list, it will be more fun and thrilling

What’s so fab about it is that you know it’s impossible, but it’s so good that it doesn’t matter. Exciting and entertaining, definitely the most loved mystery of 2025 in Japan.

Kind of all over the place. Cultish creepiness meets genetics meets cheesy characters. Still an entertaining light read with gruesome kills and tons of "TUHTUHTUUUUUUH" plot twists.

オーディブル。声のせいでアニメ感満載。本で読めばもっとシリアスな深い話しに感じるのか？それともやっぱりアニメっぽい話なのか？混乱する。
200年前の骨と死んだ妹の骨が一致。そこから大学院生が妹を探す話。クローンだったという落ち。壮大な設定だけどやはり声のせい？でアニメの終わり感が拭えない
