宗像教授異考録（２）
犬を拾ってから、本業の造園事業が好調になったという歴史研究家・花崎。その話がまるで「花咲爺」のようだと感じた宗像は、その話の元になったという中国の「狗耕田」という民話を思い出す。しかしふたつを比べてみると、「花咲爺」は登場する主人公たちが赤の他人であるのに対し、「狗耕田」は兄弟の話。このすり替わりがなぜ起きたか不思議に思った宗像の脳裏には、古代日本で起きたある事象がよぎり…

Case Studies of Professor Munakata (宗像教授異考録)
This is the sequel series to The Legendary Musings of Professor Munakata. It continues his journey into the origins of folklore around the world, with an emphasis on iron and the culture that sprouted around its use and solving mysteries along the way.
A quick comparison between the two series would be to consider the first series a more scholarly approach to the latter, while the second series is more focused on the adventures, maintaining the respect to the folktales that inspired the character of Professor Munakata.
In this series, the author maintained a tighter circle of supporting characters, and fleshing them out with their own arcs in the series. Even the professor had developed some sexual tension with his main foil, the Zanbe woman. If the professor is a Sherlock Holmes analogue, then she is his Irene Adler.
The first series was also more restrained than this second series. The Case Studies really had a bent for adventure and it jumped the shark in its last arc. (See The Great British Museum Adventure)

〈大天竺雞足記〉打動了我。星野的作品中，總有很強的恐怖片成分，但能真正在我心中留下印象的，卻是以亞南、河村史郎、高群真智等人為主角的溫馨故事。（寫於2008年）
