Nana Maru San Batsu

Book-loving Shiki Koshiyama would rather avoid attention, but a school quiz demonstration places him at the buzzer. Watching Mari answer before a question has even finished reveals a competition unlike any test he knows.

Drawn into the quiz club, Shiki discovers that broad knowledge is only part of winning: recognizing a question’s direction and choosing the right instant to buzz are skills of their own. With teammates and formidable rivals pushing him onward, the quiet reader begins finding a voice in the rapid exchanges of competitive quizzing.
