The year is 1924, the place, Sauville, a small European country neatly tucked beside the Alps... Kazuya Kujo has been studying abroad at the prestigious Saint Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. Most Kazuya ignores--but the story of the Queen Berry, a mysterious ghost ship, really gets to him. Of course, his brainy friend Victorique is much more intrigued by true stories, and she uses her unrivaled logic to solve mysteries even the town's famous detective can't. Ironically, it's Victorique's inquisitive nature that leads the duo to board a ship that matches the Queen Berry's description to a tee, a ship that might just hold the key to solving a sinister mystery... Kazuki Sakuraba's modern twist on Holmes and Watson--pairing Victorique, a wizened young girl with doll-like looks and her eager-to-please sidekick Kazuya--make this international bestseller a must-read murder mystery.

I just finished volume 1.. it's really really good!! It's a little creepy and scary at some parts (several people are murdered), but other parts are very funny! (Pay attention to the rating.) Anyway, I'll definitely try to get the second volume. It's one of my favorite books now! :D

;__; are you going to put a manga player preview of this up sometime? Because i need to see what its like before i decide to buy it. As i have my money going towards fabrics & lace thesedays, instead of manga ^_^; It sounds like a good story anyways, not too flashy, yet not boring sounding either ^__^

The art looks cute! It looks like the author of Kashimashi's! The concept sounds kind of boring, to be honest...
