Shiro Yori Dango? (Shogakukan Bunko C Ko1-3 Kyara Bun!)

[Machine Translation] Morihira Sobue, a lanky, unassuming scholar type, is a cantankerous man whose hobby is touring famous castles across Japan. His partner, Chisaki Kito, is an editor for a regional magazine. Even when she travels for work, unlike Morihira, she is a plump, energetic little woman who is more interested in exploring local cuisine than castles. While there is a certain kind of friendship between this mismatched pair of men and women in their fifties, their personalities and lifestyles simply don t mesh. Consequently, on yet another day of their travels, a trivial argument breaks out, and for some reason, a strange incident follows... A trip meant to satisfy their thirst for knowledge and appetite turns out to be far more eventful than anyone could have imagined. A comical mystery story!

ひょろりと地味な学者肌の祖父江森平は、日本国内の名城めぐりが趣味の偏屈男子。その相棒である鬼頭千咲は地方誌の編集者で、取材ついでに旅に出ても、森平と違って城よりご当地グルメの攻略に余念がないふっくら元気な小粒女子だ。この凸凹アラフィフ男女の間には、ある種の友情こそあるものの、性格も生活スタイルもまるで噛み合わない。ゆえに今日も今日とて彼らの旅先では、しょうもない口喧嘩が勃発し、ついでになぜか妙な事件まで発生してしまうのだった...。知識欲と食欲を満たすための旅行は、想像以上に波瀾万丈。コミカル謎とき物語!
