Mystery + Karuta + Romance = Great read
As you may know, I’m a huge fan of Detective Conan. So, I tackled another Detective Conan novel for November’s book that I found on Bookwalker. I watched the movie last year and it was blast. My thoughts are still the same but reading the book in Japanese was a fun and challenging experience.
It was a thrilling ride to come back to this story in book form. I already have prior knowledge to the plot, so it was fun picturing the scenes while reading. Learning a little bit about Karuta, the quick witted stunts with a dash of romance really makes this one of my favorite movies that was turned into a book.
The difficulty of this book lied in the different dialect, the poems, the deductions, and some vocabulary here and there.
