★★★★★ What’s so fab about it is that you know it’s impossible, but it’s so good that it doesn’t matter. Exciting and entertaining, definitely the most loved mystery of 2025 in Japan.

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
The author is in his mid-20s and it was only his debut novel.
It's so entertaining that all bibliophiles have read it in Japan.
The DNA of an ancient bones found in India matches the DNA of his missing sister.
And there are evil organisations and scientific secrets that are bigger than life; so you know it's impossible, there is no reality to it, but, but! you let that go because the story is so good.
Who cares if it's the story is unlikely, but not even SF, if it's entertaining, people will read and get addicted to it.
The protagonist is a beautiful lone young man who never smiles, his younger sister is a quiet pretty girl, there are also a bored housewife and poor students and Greek mythology, Frankenstein's monster, then the sound of mysterious liquid splashing - all the good ingredients are there.
We're all waiting for his future books now.
(And I'm sure it will soon be available in English)
