Discussion thread for マスカレード・ゲーム
As in, reached the first page. 
I’ll probably start reading this in September. Looking forward to the discussion. 
See you there 
I’m going to try very hard resisting to start it tonight, but then for sure tomorrow!
Bought the book !
The library didn’t have the book available, it’s out on loan, probably because of a spike in popularity with the recent news about 東野(?). My closest book store is a used book shop, I always buy there, so I went to go get the 文庫本 version. It was 700 yen (really expensive, brand new it’s only 900 yen or so), definitely more than last time I saw his books there. They definitely put the prices up because of I guess higher demand recently, feels a bit bad. Especially given he has like 100 million books sold (including more than 5 million copies of masquerade series books), you would think there’s enough supply to go around.
Anyway I’ll start reading tomorrow!
Yay!
Could definitely be the case! Damn too bad for the price.
Happy reading! I’m almost done with chapter 1 but the first pages were hard. I don’t think they were especially difficult, but just that reading a new book is hard!
100%. I went to my local japanese bookshop in Paris to order his last book, which was released on Aug 10, and they told me they don’t expect to receive it until 6-8 weeks because of the upsurge in sales
(It’s available on Amazon, though. And while I’m really sad he passed away, his last book is a ガリレオ novel, and I’m glad for that)
I’m finishing chapter 3, and loved chapter 1. I usually mix natto with raw fish, I definitely have to try with meat (not sure if I can easily find horse meat, though) !
Haha yeah it was tough to read that beginning while being hungry!
What’s the bookshop you usually go to, so I can take notes for next time I’m in Paris? I only know Junku
Junku it is ! Though if you’re not looking for anything in particular, and are feeling lucky, there are second hand japanese books at Book Off Chatelet and Book Off Quatre Septembre, and a tiny selection at Gibert too.
Cool thanks! You live in a super nice neighborhood then, when I was there I was feeling so happy at seeing Japanese places everywhere and hearing Japanese people at every corner! The complete opposite of where I live, so it was quite a shock! (but a good one)
Didn’t make a lot of progress so far, only just reached chapter 3.
This week was super busy, and next week is even busier 
in spite of a horrible week and start of the weekend , I made good progress on Sunday and today !
So far, the book is starting much like the previous ones, and I’m keen on seeing how the relations with the hotel will go (and what crazy plot twist we are bound to see at the end)
梓 is clearly set up as the good-guy baddy here…
Nice! Seeing those posts full of spoiler tags is a good incentive for making me want to read faster, I want to know what’s written there 
hopefully next week will be less busy!
