Gekkabijin Wo Matsu Niwa De Neko Marusempai No Bogen

[Machine Translation] The eccentrically named "senpai" (senior) Nekomaru has a strange charm and good-natured personality, and he is as quick-witted as a cat to get involved in anything amusing. And it's a wonder that even the most unintelligible events are quickly unraveled by him as he talks about this and that. The book contains five short stories, including the title story, which leaves a warm feeling after reading the deductions about the seemingly innocent intruders, and "Neko-chan Puzzle," in which an irregular string of letters pasted on an electric signboard leads to a mystery. This is a series of short stories in which witty dialogue and deductions are used to solve mysterious mysteries that lurk in everyday life.
