This book is also known as A Mystery Novel in One Minute and A Quick Guide to Getting into Mystery Fiction.

Japan, after the turn of the millennium.

At this time, Japanese mystery fiction has been trapped for forty years in the "social mystery curse." The works are maudlin and illogical, and the genre has reached a dead end.

The Devotion of Suspect X breaks down the boundaries between classic and social mysteries.

The Kisoji Incident ushers in a new era of honkaku mysteries.

He is the pioneer of yokai mysteries, dazzling readers with The Summer of the Ubume.

With 64, he becomes the grand master of police novels, earning the title "One stroke, and the soul enters the page."

Ace Attorney pioneers courtroom mystery games.

Then come The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, The Belladonna Flower, The Decagon House Murders, Journey Under the Midnight Sun, Confessions, Unnatural, Legal High, From the New World... one after another.

Later mystery writers rate him this way:

"Edogawa Ranpo is the founding father of Japanese mystery fiction.

Yokomizo Seishi established Japanese honkaku mysteries.

Matsumoto Seicho brought mystery fiction into the realm of literature."

"And Tsukishiro Yumi?"

People look up at the boundless sky. "They are all unsurpassable mountains in the history of mystery fiction. The peaks seem endless, but Tsukishiro Yumi stands beyond them all."

This is the story of a young man who transmigrates to Japan and becomes the God of Mystery.
