This is the official novel (Some sources said that it's considered as an LN, but I'll take it as it is) thread for Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation. As of 10/2015, eight volumes are officially released in Japanese.

Spoiler for Image space:

In addition, a radio drama was aired online (And you can still listen to it) as part of a celebration of the show's (then) upcoming release.

The casting of the radio drama changed when the anime started. You can still listen to the drama online or download it to your PC/smartphone as a mp3.

PS - Apologies for the big images. The [Images] tag can't be used since it leads to a URL.

Someone's working on translating the novel so far

You can try putting them in a spoiler so people with won't get smacked in the face with huge images. but other then that I forgot all about this novel.. I might have to reread it.

Yu Ominae · 2015-10-17, 02:29

Thanks for the assist. That's fixed now.

Yu Ominae · 2015-10-21, 23:00

Don't know if this is worth sharing.

I read around that there was some poll done by Nanonanodesu (Hope I got the name right) that wanted to ask readers what novel wants to be translated.

The title came up, but not people voted for it.

Does kougami Yuriko like shoutarou romantically and does sakurako like shoutarou romantically?

Yu Ominae · 2015-10-29, 07:34

I'd say that for the former, there are hints that Yuriko is very close to Shotarou. According to info I dug up, you can see this happen in the 2nd volume.

I doubt it for the latter. If anything, Shotarou is there to help Sakurako know her place since... she has a strong liking for bones. And the fact that...

Spoiler for Big stuff regarding Sakurako:

Spoiler for Big stuff regarding Sakurako:

She has a fiance, iirc. I wonder if somehow this will have a love triangle(though I also wonder if the Heroine does love her fiance), well I guess the chances are very low. But can you guys have pm me pic of the fiance?

Alucard396 · 2015-11-05, 04:45

Ya i could see sakurako and shoutarou ending up together romantically I bet it was a forced engagement with her fiancee shoutaro seems like someone she can't be without more then just a resemblance to her dead brother.

Yu Ominae · 2015-11-05, 20:13

TBH, haven't seen any images of Sakurako's fiance in the novels yet. Of course, I didn't have time to comb through it since I was busy with Watch Dogs and GTA V.

Yu Ominae · 2015-11-21, 20:55

Updated OP to include recent sighting of someone doing translations.

Yu Ominae · 2017-09-14, 09:06

UPDATED AGAIN:

Someone's doing the translation of the first volume. Chapter 1 is out.

Spoiler for To be safe:

Yu Ominae · 2018-01-25, 05:44

Someone's doing volume 2 now. Need to look for the link.

Iroha Isshiki · 2018-01-26, 02:16

When the beautiful Female lead ended up with the Trash Beta Male lead. Fucking trash. Fucking immature useless spoiled brat male lead. This novel had a beautiful premise, but was destroyed when Trash spoiled brat Male lead wins.

Pathetic shit. Useless crap.

If I were the translator for this, I will dropped this. Wasted time. Mark my words.

Yu Ominae · 2018-01-26, 06:06

Mate, you could've said that in a better way.

polat15 · 2018-01-30, 16:47

So the mc character doesn't end with the heroine?

And what is the issue with that? too much false lead? was the chemistry better? at times seems romance was not the forte but still why so much salt?
