Received in perfect condition! No dents or anything. As for the story itself, originally based on the light novel, this is definitely worth reading if you’re a fan of the mystery genre (Sherlock Holmes style) and you want a female protagonist who is sassy, clever, and with a no-nonsense attitude. Other characters have their own quirks too which makes it all the more interesting. It has a mixture of mystery, comedy, and romance so you definitely won’t get bored reading this.
