About the Author
Nishio's works often cover themes of youth, but are framed in genres that are familiar to the masses. His works tend to mix mystery with comedy and touches or romance and/or the supernatural.

Hoo-boy was I wrong. The narrative is brilliantly dark, and the characters are all very well fleshed out and three-dimensional. The plot twist left me awestruck, it’s no wonder this book won the Mephisto Award, as I highly doubt anyone would have seen that resolution coming!
For a light novel enthusiast Zaregoto is such a refreshing read and I recommend it to all fans of mystery / detective fiction.
