Introduction	：	The civil servant in charge of the I-turn project faces the The reality of depopulated areas and a quirky “mystery”. A project to revitalize Minoshiishi, a mountain village that has been uninhabited for six years, has been launched at the behest of the mayor. Manganji is put in charge of supporting the new residents in the “Revitalization Section” of the city hall, but neither Nishino, the section chief, nor Kanzan, a newcomer, are willing to do anything about it. Moreover, the applicants, who had been recruited from the public, are now having trouble one by one, and one by one they are leaving Minoishi. …… Naoki Prize-winning author Honobu Yonezawa presents a superb mystery tragedy. Commentary by Setsuko Shinoda Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

A word of advice
This is a relatively familiar story of a city hall civil servant’s agony. The main character deals with various immigrants and clears up their problems one by one…
It was a very enjoyable read.
