Mord auf der Insel Gokumon

The isolated island creates a tense atmosphere, but was this choice driven by the plot or the cultural setting? I’d love to hear the author's thoughts.

His approach to solving the crime seemed both logical and respectful of cultural norms. How much do you think the setting shaped his character?

The story's atmosphere is so distinct — I wonder if it was based on real locations or a purely fictional creation that captures a certain mood.
