Sandwiched between the three countries of Italy, France, and Switzerland, there is a small kingdom called the Kingdom of Suval. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, this is not a real country in history, but a fictional country that does not exist as the background of the story of GOSICK.

In the comics, the country faces the Mediterranean Sea and is backed by the Alps.

In the Kingdom of Suvar, located in the southern foothills of the Alps, there is an aristocratic high school called St. Margaret's College, and the gears of the story begin when a Japanese student named Ikya Kushiro transfers to this school.

It was the spring of 1924 after World War I.

The male protagonist Kushiro, who was born in a samurai family, went to Europe to study with the dream of serving the country and came to this St. Margaret's college.

However, what happened in school was not what he imagined in advance, because of the appearance and characteristics of the Oriental, his situation in school was not good.

He was confronted with something akin to "cold violence", where blonde Westerners were "afraid" of certain characteristics of Orientals.

"Those dark pupils seem to be able to suck people in."

It's a comment he hears every day.

But there are other reasons for this, because the black hair and black eyes plus the school in the spring, so the situation of Kushiro Kazuya is secretly in line with the legend of the "Black Death Coming in Spring" in the school, so although he is not cared about in the school, he has a famous nickname, "Black Death".

This is another school where school legends are spread everywhere that are common in various works.

In order to find out what the so-called "Grim Reaper of Spring Comes" is, Kushiro Kazuya went to the library.

Here he read a lot of legends, about the Grim Reaper, about the alchemist, about the "Golden Goblin", and about the "Gray Wolf".

"The gray wolf is a highly intelligent wolf, it is said to be very wise, even more intelligent than humans, able to master language, and can converse with people......"

Then, while flipping through the books, Hisagi not only learned what the various legends were referring to, but what was even more strange was that he found blonde hair interspersed among the pages.

Thinking of the golden fairy legend he had just read, Hisashi immediately ran to the top floor of the library.

Legend has it that golden goblins reside on the top floor of the library.

Then, on the top floor of the library, he ran to the breathless Black Grim Reaper, and ran into the golden fairy sitting on the ground reading a book.

"It's as delicate as a doll."

This is the emotion of Kazuya Hishiro.

It turns out that this sentence is a FLAG, whether it is said or thought so in his heart, but as long as a character has such an idea, he will be transformed into Lolicon sooner or later.

"It's slow, black death."

The "puppet" began to speak to him as if he knew that Hisagi would be here.

For Victoria, the meeting of the two seemed inevitable.

However, the Grim Reaper seemed to really recognize the other party as a puppet, so he turned around and ran away in the face of a puppet that could speak.

Ran away......

The black Grim Reaper was scared away by the golden goblin......

Subsequently, Kushiro Kazuya learned from the teacher's mouth that the "golden goblin" was not a strange thing, and the main body turned out to be his classmate, whose name was Victoria.

After that, there was the next contact between the two people.

Kushiro helped the teacher bring some information to Victoria, and there he ran into someone who came to look for Victoria

A police detective with a super strange hairstyle.

He brought the "Incident" to Victoria...... Homicides.

For Victoria, such puzzles were a boring pastime.

A wizard died in his sealed bedroom, and the police found no clues.

When I got here, readers who read comics finally understood that this special meow was really a mystery comic, and the detective was the heroine of Lori, and the male protagonist was Watson.

Then, after listening to the detective's description, Victoria miraculously solves the case and points out the murderer, the Arab maid.

The process of resolving events is quite mysterious, and according to Victoria, the world's various puzzles are "fragments of chaos", and her "fountain of wisdom" can reconstruct them and lead to the answer.

She likes to solve these mysteries, and hates the "verbalization" of solving puzzles to explain to others.

Then, as she said, the maid was really the culprit of the incident.

From the reader's point of view, this reasoning cartoon seems to have a groove in the reasoning.

In terms of return, no matter how intelligent the character setting of Victoria in the work is, she is essentially the same kind of "detective" as Oriki Buntaro.

To put it simply, they don't rely on evidence in their reasoning, and they only need to rely on their own "brains".

If you compare them with each other in mystery comics, then compared to works like GOSICK, Detective Conan must be regarded as a professional-level and textbook-level mystery comic with no loopholes in logic.

Reasoning-wise, this is almost to the point of "childishness", but can you watch this work? can see it, and it's even excellent, because reasoning is just a façade, and the real attraction of this work is not in reasoning.

GOSICK's ontology is a light novel, and now it is directly in the form of comics for readers, but in essence, this is not a serious reasoning literary work, if you follow the requirements of the latter to create comics, no matter how strictly forbidden the logic of the work, how elaborate the case setting, and even how feasible and reproducible the trick is, it is difficult to be really popular.

If you want to read such works, most people will choose to read famous works of mystery novels instead of comics.

For mystery comics, reasoning is never the only element, or even the most important element, what readers need is events, puzzles, puzzles, and reasonable explanations and explanations that can be worn, as long as these can be done, the rest of the local cartoonists can choose different ways of expression.

Therefore, the reasoning comic GOSICK does not focus on reasoning and selling point, which cannot be said to be such a strange situation.

In addition to the weakness of reasoning, this work is quite successful in creating and rendering the atmosphere and creating the characters, between the social background between the two world wars, the era when the science of the supernatural was not popularized, and the conspiracy that revolves around the heroine Victoria throughout the story...... And so on are very attractive places.
