Are you interested in the books Yuki Nagato has on her bookshelf? A long time ago, an official list of Yuki’s choice of books was published in The Sneaker magazine (all the way in 2004!) which used to be published by Kadokawa Shoten back in the day.
As someone who loves reading books and Yuki Nagato, I was fascinated by the interesting books I have heard of and not heard of. There’s a wide variety of mystery books and classics that are very well-known and a lot of other cool works. It’s quite niche.
There are 98 books on this list. The other 2 that were a part of the 100 are in an alien-like language that can’t be deciphered, so I can’t really include them. Some are also in Japanese, and I’m not sure how many of them are available in English.
