Mystery
"The Tombstone of the Frontier," which has already been serialized here, has become quite lengthy and has many chapters, so it has been decided to revise and add to it and publish it as a separate "revised version."

 In 1995, when Japan was in chaos due to an earthquake and religious terrorism incident, a death occurred in eastern Hokkaido (Doto), and a group of detectives from a small precinct in eastern Hokkaido (Doto) are forced to confront a series of past and present incidents and events. This is a full-length mystery novel that follows their investigation for a year and a half, and a total of seven years. In the end, the protagonist detective is confronted not so much with the truth of the incident, but rather with the nature of himself and Japanese society itself.

Written in a style that blends historical facts and fiction (inspired by "The Straits of Hunger," "The Sand Vessel," and the mystery game "The Vanishing of Okhotsk"), the final work exceeds 2 million characters, so be warned that it will require patience from the reader.
