As in the first book in the series, the focus is less on the "why" of the murders and more on the "how". Where most murder mysteries all come down the motives of the killer, NisiOisiN's killers seem to have very vague motives. His books are a study in flawed characters trying to deal with the world around them, and murder becomes just another character flaw.The hero of the series, Ii-chan, is a great reluctant detective who only wants to be the passive observer, but gets drawn into the case against his will. He's not interested in seeing justice served. Instead, Ii-chan ends up solving the case simply because it's a puzzle he wants or needs to know the answer to.The characters are fascinating and the plot definitely keeps you guessing right to the end. I hope the rest of the Zaregoto series gets published in English a little quicker though (it took two years for this second book to be translated from Japanese and released in the US). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent *by K***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2010* As a fan of Nisio Isin, I absolutely loved this novel, and look forward to seeing further volumes in the series translated. As always, the author is careful to shatter steriotypes of how a story is told and who the characters of that story should be. Even as someone who generally avoids Japanese light novels, I was very impressed by this. The novel is compelling, funny, full of surprises, and always fresh. Though it's a completely different kind of work, next to Haruki Murakami, Natsuhiko Kyogokudo, and Genichiro Takahashi, Nisio Isin is one of the best and most interesting talents we've seen from Japan so far. I can only hope the next volume appears some time soon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Smart and funny whodunit. *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2017* Nisioisin is just so much fun to read! All of his novels, and this one is no different, contain some really intelligent and funny dialog. Most of the story actually takes place in the dialog. It is so surprising, with lots of manga/anime allusions, and the characters are so interesting. I really like all of the characters and the protagonist is an accomplished straight man for their weird personalities. Highly recommended if you're the intellectual sort. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/39337544-zaregoto-book-2-the-kubishime-romanticist](https://www.desertcart.us/products/39337544-zaregoto-book-2-the-kubishime-romanticist) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
