Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture EX

Professor Mitani, a specialist in modern Japanese history, shows up at Takatsuki's office clutching a mysterious doll. After Mitani posted a photo of it to his blog, someone claiming to be the granddaughter of the doll's original owner reached out, describing how it used to grow hair and move around on its own. Takatsuki's ghost story sensors start tingling, and he drags a reluctant Naoya along with him to investigate... What is the secret of the cursed doll? Why is Naoya suddenly getting called "Dog Boy" by the graduate students? And how does Kenji end up helping Akira on his day off? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in this short story collection from the wonderful world of Akira Takatsuki!
