Take a journey into the strange and magical land known as the Mea Culpa Valley; an area with a long and proud history of profound weirdness and absolute lunacy. The residents of a small chunk of squalor known as Timbrook are visited by a precocious knight on a quest, and inadvertently become swept up in a hysterical adventure like none ever before witnessed. Magic, mystery, mayhem and intrigue abound as a powerful warlord’s plot to take over the entire region is slowly uncovered, also revealing the ancient secrets of a powerful stone that may or may not actually be a piece of petrified dragon excrement. Full of laughs, adventure, intrigue, romance and hilarious characters, the Porridge King is a laugh-out loud good time!
Over the course of a single day, the lives of various tenants on a floor of an apartment complex intertwine. A new family, a struggling couple, a man desperate to find his place in the world, and an elderly woman with nothing left to do but reflect on a long life lived all find a thread of connection on a day that none of them will forget. And where one character's story ends, another's story begins.
First in an all-new series of mysteries that could happen only in Tokyo...
Yumi Hata went to school in the U.S., but now—back in Tokyo, living with her parents and working as an English translator—she no longer fits in with the fiercely traditional Japanese. If not for her friend Rika, Yumi would feel completely isolated, so when Rika is found dead—suspected of jisatsu, taking part in a suicide pact—Yumi is devastated.
Fortunately, the police investigator in charge of Rika’s case is Yumi’s old schoolmate Kenji, who also wants to clear Rika’s name. As Yumi and Kenji dig up more evidence, they discover that Rika’s “suicide” is not what it seemed.
Chasing Rika’s murderer, Yumi and Kenji encounter doll-faced Lolita fashionistas, trendy bars inhabited by the social elite, and the dark side of a suicide pact website. The clock is ticking as they race to find the killer before the next victim is targeted...
Includes more than two dozen photos of Japan!
