After 19 books, an animated series on NHK, and a feature film, this smash-hit series marks another milestone with the publication of its 20^th instalment. Professor Rokujo continues to try and confound his nemesis, sweet shop owner Beniko, this time using an AI-powered chatbot. His chatbot becomes so popular that customers stop visiting her store: how can Beniko foil Rokujo’s plot and get people coming back to her business?
