So he worked on series like Trick intensively too (which totally explains the vibe I got from the trailer).

I read the caption, Imamura Masahiro? Zombie? Wait, is this... I took note of the title, Shijinso. Then I check your blog. And lo and behold, IT IS! It's a P-O for Murder at Shijinso!<br /><br />Surprisingly enough, there is a publisher that was smart enough to pick this novel and translated it into Bahasa (I'm Indonesian). AFAIK there's not even an English translation, yet. I'm so excited for this. I can't wait to read the book!

Not that this one isn't famous, but it's not,err, a classic yet. Again, based on LRI's output, I don't think we'll see a 2010s work from LRI any time soon unless it by a known author like Soji Shimada or something.
