I was hoping this book would change from the weird vignettes, but it hasn't.

I don't know how it's a mystery book at all when nothing is... a mystery? Other than this one random foreigner who hasn't existed as a person and doesn't seem to have a real place in any of the stories.

I also find it obnoxious for the translator not keeping things consistent? They couldn't decide on first name-last name or last name-first name for Japanese people. Also, the translator literally did "she was a Japanese."
