Yumi Tamura’s enchanting series, *Mystery to Iu Nakare* (translated as *Don’t Call It Mystery*), has officially claimed the top spot on Billboard Japan’s Book Hot 100 chart as of February 25. This latest volume, Vol. 16, impressively rises from last week's No. 2 position. Its success is fueled by strong sales in physical stores, where it dominates, and it also garners a respectable No.
