“Daily life cracks without a sound—” Yo Ashizawa's 15th Anniversary Collection 'Anata ga Tadashiku Irareta Toki' Released Today!

Bunshun Inc. released the latest mystery collection 'Anata ga Tadashiku Irareta Toki' by Yo Ashizawa on May 22, 2026.

This collection marks the beginning of the 15th anniversary year for author Yo Ashizawa, whose work 'Uso to Rinjin' was a Naoki Prize nominee and whose novel 'Yoru no Michishirube' won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award.

The work contains six stories that sharply depict the distortions of human psychology hidden in daily life and the dangers inherent in the concept of 'righteousness,' shaking the reader's sense of justice.

The book was also featured on the TV program 'King's Brunch' on May 16, 2026, becoming a significant topic.

[Comment from Yo Ashizawa] This is the first work of my 15th-anniversary celebration. It compiles pieces I have written in various places over the past nine years. I hope you enjoy the distinct 'Yo Ashizawa style' in each story.
