Kuidaore Doshin (Shodensha Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Kogoro Kogure, an assistant magistrate in the Minamimachi Magistrate's Office, was in a quandary. He suspected that a medicine wholesaler had perpetrated a fraud to take advantage of infertility problems, but he could not touch it because it was under the jurisdiction of the magistrate of temples and shrines. He has yet to catch the tail of the "world redeemer" who is causing a stir in Edo, and his superiors are always haranguing him about it. On top of that, Katsura, a fellow apprentice, has had his precious ten hands stolen by a devilish woman. The food-loving coward chases after evil to satisfy his hunger in this gripping detective story!
