凛野冥 finalist

A mystery work by Rinno Mei recorded in connection with the Shincho Mystery Award. Amazon Japan, NDL, and publisher sources did not confirm a standalone book, paperback, or collection. From the title, it appears to center on a detective figure and calm observation.

河瀬涼 finalist

A finalist for the sixth Shincho Mystery Award. The title suggests a mystery centered on a woman who speaks of dreams of ruins, but it was a finalist rather than the prizewinning work, and public information is limited to the award's finalist listing.

Around a woman who tells dreams of ruins, a mystery remains unpublished in book form.

A finalist for the Shincho Mystery Grand Award. The title is confirmed as an entry-stage work, but no standalone book, paperback, or collection containing it could be confirmed through Amazon Japan, NDL, or the publisher, so it is treated as unpublished for now.
