Phantom Solitaire's Art of Disguising Oneself as a Supernatural Being

An untitled serialized spinoff novel about Phantom Solitaire will be serialized in the Young Yangan app Manga UP! from May 08, 2023 onward.

To promote the novel, the first installment's opening was published alongside Chapter 99 on May 02, 2023 in the Young Gangan magazine's tenth volume.

Overview
On April 21, 2023, Narita explained that the gaiden novel is a byproduct of written material he had to exclude from the main story. "Before I knew it," he wrote, "All the parts that I had eliminated were connected!"

In the same tweet, he announced that the novel will intersect the present-day story with Solitaire's story from three years ago, and that Tsubaki Iwanome and Kōzaburō Arase shall appear in the latter scenes.

As Solitaire first emerged onto Shinjuku's criminal scene three years prior to Chapter 1, the novel will likely include Solitaire's criminal debut.
