Blue

Blue

★Content introduction: There was a person who was born on the day when the Heisei era began and died on the day when the Heisei era ended.
His mother said that when he was born, there was a blue sky outside the window, so she named him Qing, also called Blue.
——But it was rainy all day in Tokyo that day, and there was no clear sky in sight.
In December 1915, a family of five was murdered in Ome City. Police speculated that the second daughter, Natsuki Shinohara, killed the other four and then died of a heart attack. However, unidentified fingerprints other than Natsuki's were left at the scene, suggesting an accomplice.
——According to Blue's recollection, he escaped on a cold, snowy night, but there was no record of snowfall in the Qingmei area that day.
In April 2011, a man and woman were found dead in a pool of blood in an empty apartment in Tama New Town, Tokyo. Their methods of murder mirrored those of the "Ome Case." Investigations revealed the deceased to be "internet cafe refugees" who had two children.
——Blue, I have almost no memory of you, but despite this, you are also my destiny.

A new masterpiece by Ye Zhenzhongxian, author of "The Scream" and winner of the Mystery Writers Association Award. A phenomenal social mystery novel in Japan. Ranked first on the "Reading METER" website. "A brilliant story with multiple structures. Ye Zhenzhongxian is a rare storyteller."
"That's touching. From now on, when I let my emotions get the better of me and start scolding my kids, I'll definitely think of Blue. Blue can be a deterrent."
"For the policewoman Okunuki Ayano, who abandoned her daughter and constantly blamed herself for 'not being able to properly protect her child', her colleague Fujisaki Tsukasa proposed a 'redemption' that subverted the reader's common sense."
"I was drawn in by Blue's innocence and tragedy, and I felt a fascination with the character for the first time since 'Scream.' Personally, I think it's a perfect match for Ye Zhenzhongxian's works, alongside 'Scream.'"
"There's a lot of music and culture from the Heisei era, like 'The Only Flower in the World,' Game Boy, Kenji Ozawa, Namie Amuro, and so on. I feel like I'm running towards the Heisei era."
"Things like 'family' and 'love' that we take for granted are not necessarily so."
"Parental abuse, poverty, and violence have caused Blue to be caught up in a negative chain reaction. Children cannot choose their parents. I hope that fewer children suffer and that they can grow up in a humane and healthy way."
"It covers heavy topics such as child abuse, low-wage labor for foreigners, undocumented children, and LGBT issues. It's worth reading."
