★"Ghost" Yusuke Takashi's masterpiece of mystery novels, nominated for Eiji Yoshikawa Literary Newcomer Award and Ishirō Yamamoto Award
★The perfect crime of seventeen years old, the boy's deep anger is like a blue flame. Contrary to that calm color, the burning temperature of blue flame is higher than that of red flame.
★The original film of the same name directed by Yukio Ninagawa and starring Kazuya Ninomiya
★Although "Blue Flame" has elements of mystery and suspense, Yusuke Kishi's description of teenage psychology is the real moving part of this work.

Seventeen-year-old high school student Shuichi Kushimori lives a simple and happy life with his mother Tomoko and sister Haruka. Sone Ryuji, the object of his mother's remarriage and divorce, reappeared, breaking the original calm. Worried about the safety of his mother and sister, Xiuichi decided to "forcibly end" the intruder's life after resorting to legitimate means to no avail. What I thought was a perfect plan turned out to be unexpected...
Reader comments
It's a wonderful mystery novel. At first, when I saw Shuichi's careful plan, I really thought he could escape the punishment of the law. But when I saw Shuichi's math score in the midterm exam, I realized something was wrong. This paper with many small omissions happened to reflect the hero's plan. Noriko's suspicion also paved the way for the hero's failure. The sentence at the gate, "Once a fire is lit, the flames of hatred will spread boundlessly and eventually burn you to ashes." It not only reflects the male protagonist's inability to turn back, but also shows the main theme of the novel. At the same time, the relationship between Shuichi and Noriko is really cruel. Although Shuichi also loves Noriko, he is mostly using her. I hope that Shuichi can love Noriko even more in the next life. [Cry]
Cyan is a color between green and blue, and the blue flame is the immature flame ignited by a boy, but the temperature of the blue flame is much higher than the normal flame, and the fire is enough to burn out the arsonist.
It's good to watch. The first-person description of the male protagonist's crime is described in the first part, and the police later use various clues to speculate on the crime. It's so exciting. There really is no such thing as a perfect crime. As long as it is done, there will definitely be omissions. Only then did the male protagonist realize that he had so many omissions.
This book resonated with me very much. The emotional power of a seventeen-year-old boy who planned a perfect crime in order to protect his family was very shocking. The author Yusuke Kishi depicts the psychology of teenagers very delicately, making me feel Shuichi's struggle and helplessness. I think this is not only a mystery novel, but also a profound discussion of human nature. Moreover, the descriptions in the book are very graphic, just like watching a movie, very exciting!
Movies are more figurative than books, and books are more painful than movies. The anger turned into green flames and enveloped Shuichi's whole body. Adopting a combination of God's perspective and subjective perspective, the boy Shuichi "forcibly ends" the life of the intruder Zeng Jin's stepfather Sone Takashi. He has the determination to protect his family, but also has the impulsiveness, arbitrary and controlling desire of adolescence. Noriko's kindness and innocence, and her mother's weakness and helplessness.
This is the only way left. He wiped the sweat from his palms and firmly grasped the handle of his car. Under the scorching sun, Xiuyi rode his bicycle at full speed on Route 134, the sea breeze filling his nose. Incredibly, there was no fear in my heart.
Things I like: off-road vehicles, the world you see when riding on off-road vehicles, the food cooked by my mother, Haruka's angry face, the poor painting of the door, Kagawa's jokes...
Said the voice of reason. It will only hurt her in the end. However, the desire for redemption has reached an unbearable level. It's reached its limit.
Once a fire is lit, the flames of hatred will spread boundlessly and eventually burn you to ashes.
From the perspective of the protagonist Shuichi, it tells the story of the causes and consequences of killing his former adoptive father Sone and his former friend Takuya. It brings the characters inner struggles through family, friendship, and love, giving the characters thickness.
The content is very exciting, and many plots in the book are very depressing. Perhaps as the book says, Shuichi was destroyed by the flames of anger. However, if he could have known earlier that Sone was dying of cancer, he would not have embarked on a road of no return. Without anyone's guidance, he faced the fact of murder alone, but for the sake of his family, he still jumped into the abyss. The constant falling caused him great pain. Occasionally, a few beams of light from the girl Noriko shone on him, but he had no way of turning back. Perhaps, finally falling to death under the abyss would be a good relief for him. Break away from the rules that constrain yourself and free yourself from the great pain.
Sin is a fire that devours people, and human nature gradually gives way to bestiality in the process of committing sin.
I almost blocked this author after reading "From the New World" first, but after reading this book, my thoughts were: Isn't this a great writer? The work was written too early, so it may lack some new ideas, but the writing style and writing skills are very good, especially the reflections of "The Story of the Mountain and the Moon" and "Heart", which add a literary flavor to the work.
Everything is a decision made to protect the family.
It's wonderful, but this ending is pretty good. After all, not everyone can take responsibility calmly, nor can they bear the consequences.
The logic is very rigorous, and the large amount of psychological description makes the reading very atmospheric. The story is relatively weak, and the ending is regrettable.
It is worth recommending, the content is far-reaching, and the ending... Is disappointing.
A tragedy destined by God...
You have no choice but to commit a crime, and having such a father in your life is a lifetime of misfortune.
If you like it, you will read all the works.
I was a little sad after reading it, and the last chapter was a little touching.
You stepped through that door, the murder door
I feel chills on my back as I watch it, it's so suffocating, have you written an if line?
I can't think of anything to say right now, it's a good book
Sone opened his mouth all the time to drink [face covering] [face covering]
It's a good mystery novel
This is my first time watching this kind of subject matter, I feel good
Good looking, logical, eloquent, recommended, recommended
It is a pity.
The author has researched various killing techniques very rigorously and obtained a tip on how to go to jail. It also vividly depicts high school life with great care.
