#The Decagon House of Murders

[blogthefiresidechats]

Latest haul!

I made another visit to my local book store and you’ll be able to see what I purchased below. I’ve come to realize this year that reading books and purchasing books are two completely different hobbies of mine. With as many books that I have in my collection at the moment, I’m surprised that people aren’t stopping by my house thinking that another branch has opened up that’s apart of the city…

Leroux

His character introduction in the book is literally ‘the boy with the youthful features and round glasses standing next to him’ and just look at his design in the manga. Also why did the character design page show Ellery thinking of him being a cat boy that was NOT in the book (creative license of the manga artist ig but I’m not complaining). Oh and also he’s a literature student I forgot to mention that but come on

Wei Wuxian

necromancer war criminal who is wanted dead by everyone for his crimes (tho in fairness he did have very good reasons and intentions to do the necromancy and defy the agreed upon regulations and laws) (and he's also kinda dead twice over already)

Quick and lazy Ellery sketch because packing was driving me insane

So I'm getting into Decagon House Murders.

Orczy is super gay, right? Like she's constantly thinking about how beautiful Agatha is and how important Chiori was in her life. It's not just me, right?

I know I'm not near the solution but at least I'm figuring some things out before Kawaminami and Shimada have to spell it out for me.

Also the Umineko influences are pretty clear, like aside from them both being Dead Island stories, I can see a bit of Ellery in Erika.

The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji

“In my opinion, mystery fiction is, at its core, a kind of intellectual puzzle. An exciting game of reasoning in the form of a novel. A game between the reader and the great detective, or the reader and the author. Nothing more or less than that.”

just finished reading a novel for the first time since high school 👍 #literate
