Exploring the Boundaries of Emotion and Intelligence in 'Paradise Lost and Found'

On July 17, 2026, Mynavi Publishing is set to release the highly anticipated mystery novel, 'Paradise Lost and Found', written by the acclaimed author Akira Morisawa. The novel has received glowing praise from fellow writer Ryusui Seiryoin, hailing Morisawa as a "jealously talented genius."

The story unfolds in a utopia of intellect, where brilliant minds converge to unravel the sinister occurrences surrounding the death of a single frog. This seemingly trivial incident ignites a series of mysterious deaths, leading to an unprecedented exploration of a profound question: Are human emotions genuine or mere imitations?

A Closed Circle Mystery

Set on a picturesque island, the novel introduces readers to an elite community of researchers at the Setouchi University of Infinite Boundaries. The tranquility of their utopian world shatters with the discovery of a frog’s corpse, heralding an ominous cascade of fatalities.

As waves of sudden deaths ripple through their secluded haven, the once-invulnerable realm of knowledge begins to degrade into a 'Paradise Lost'. The crux of the story hinges on the ultimate inquiry into the nature of what emotions mean for humanity.
