Woe mouth (Kodansha Bunko)

The mix of historical detail and lighthearted mystery feels seamless. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The period details made the story richer, but sometimes I wondered if they overshadowed the plot. How did others feel about the historical depth?

His character feels so authentic and relatable. I wonder what inspired Bowen to develop him this way—was it based on someone or just a creative idea?
