Jiken series

The Jiken series (事件シリーズ) are Japanese mystery novels by Kouhei Kadono. Kadono began his career writing light novels, but this series came from a mainstream publishing label, Kodansha Novels. In 2008 Del Rey Manga announced that they would be publishing the first novel in the series in English, but did not release any.
