Fakta Menarik
Tahukah kamu, novel a midsummer’s equation atau dikenal sebagai ‘rumus kebenaran musim panas’ dalam bahasa Indonesia. Novel ini juga telah diadaptasi menjadi film layar lebar, dengan judul ‘midsummer equation.’
Mari Kita Ulas!
A Midsummer Equation – Sebuah kota kecil bernama Harigaura memiliki keindahan dan pariwisata bawah laut yang sangat indah. Namun, saat ini kota kecil Harigaura sedang berdiskusi terbuka karena ada perusahaan tambang yang memiliki proyek untuk eksplorasi sumber daya bawah laut. Tentunya ada sebagian warga yang merasa proyek eksplorasi ini adalah kegiatan yang akan mengembangkan ekonomi pariwisata mereka, tapi ada juga sebagian warga yang meyakini kegiatan ini merusak alam di Harigaura termasuk Naomi.
Naomi, adalah anak satu-satunya dari sepasang suami-istri yang memiliki sebuah penginapan di kota Harigaura. Kondisi perekonomian di kota Harigaura sangat bergantung kepada ekonomi pariwisatanya karena memiliki keindahan alam yang menjadi daya tariknya. Namun, akhir-akhir ini Harigaura sedang dilanda sepi pengunjung. Mulai dari kafe, bar, penginapan dan penggerak ekonomi di sana sedang mengalami kebangkrutan, termasuk penginapan milik Ayah dan Ibu Naomi. Penduduk Harigaura sedikit terselamatkan karena ada proyek eksplorasi alam bawah laut yang membuat mereka harus mengirim banyak orang untuk survey dan memantau lokasi langsung, sehingga penginapan dan bar kembali hidup dengan pengunjung.
Pada suatu malam ada seorang mantan detektif yang menginap di penginapan milik Ayah Ibu Naomi, namun tak disangka seorang mantan polisi itu—bernama Tsukahara, tewas mengenaskan di tepi pantai di dasar tebing. Apa yang terjadi? Bagaimana bisa seorang mantan detektif tewas di tempat yang sedang sepi pengunjung?
Professor Yukawa termasuk tamu yang didatangkan dari perusahaan eksplorasi sumber daya alam bawah laut dan kebetulan sedang menginap di penginapan tersebut langsung mendeteksi adanya kejanggalan. Di sinilah kita disuguhkan duet antara detektif Galileo dan Kusanagi lagi.
Opini Nick dan Nora
ππ»♂️ Menurutku, novel ini menitikberatkan unsur fisika dan ilmu lainnya. Alias novel ini sangat berfokus untuk mencari sebuah jawaban yang objektif dan dapat dibuktikan maupun yang menyangkut kasus atau tidak. Professor Yukawa di sini kelihatan lebih menonjol dari seri Galileo sebelumnya, malah menurutku dia adalah fokus utama dari cerita di novel ini. Lagi-lagi yang aku suka dari seri Galileo ini adalah bagaimana pola pikir, inovasi dalam pikiran, dan deduksi yang dikeluarkan oleh Profesor Yukawa. Semuanya tepat dan akurat. Tapi ada yang aku kurang suka dari novel ini selain alur ceritanya yang sangat lambat, yaitu penyelesaian kasusnya sangat kekeluargaan banget dan terkesan ‘tidak selesai.’
ππ»♀️ Aku gak selesai baca novel ini (jujur saja) karea super slow plot-nya. Memang di awal terkesan seru dan bikin penasaran, cuman karena udah baca novel Keigo Sensei yang lain yang seru dan (lebih) sadis jadinya novel ini kaya biasa aja buatku. Namun, kalau kalian mau baca novel Keigo yang santai dan suasana summer novel ini cocok untuk kalian.
Rating dari Kami!

Fun Fact
Did you know, the novel A Midsummer's Equation is also known as 'Rumus Kebenaran Musim Panas’' in Indonesian, has been adapted into a movie with the title 'Midsummer Equation.'
Here Comes The Review!
A Midsummer Equation – A small town called Harigaura has exquisite beauty and underwater tourism. However, the small town of Harigaura is currently in an open discussion program because a mining company has a project to explore underwater resources. Of course, there are some residents who feel that this exploration project is an activity that will develop their tourism economy, but there are also some residents who believe this activity is damaging nature in Harigaura, including Naomi.
Naomi, is the only child of a couple who owns an inn in the town of Harigaura. The economic condition in the city of Harigaura is very dependent on its tourism economy because it has natural beauty that is the attraction. However, lately Harigaura has been hit by a lack of visitors. Starting from cafes, bars, inns and economic drivers there are experiencing bankruptcy, including the inn owned by Naomi's parents. Harigaura residents are slightly saved because there is an underwater natural exploration project that makes them have to send many people to survey and monitor the location directly, so that inns and bars are alive with visitors again.
One night a former detective stays at Naomi's father's inn, but unexpectedly a former policeman - named Tsukahara, died horribly on the beach at the bottom of the cliff. What happened? How could a former detective die in a place where there are no visitors?
Professor Yukawa, is also a guest brought in from an undersea natural resource exploration company who happens to be staying at the inn, immediately detects the irregularities. This is where we are presented with the duet between detectives Galileo and Kusanagi again.
Nick and Nora’s Mind
ππ»♂️ In my opinion, this novel emphasizes physics and other sciences. It is very much focused on finding an objective and provable answer, whether it is a case or not. Professor Yukawa here seems more prominent than the previous Galileo series, in fact I think he is the main focus of the story in this novel. Again, what I like about the Galileo series is the mindset, innovation in thought, and deduction issued by Professor Yukawa. Everything is precise and accurate. But there is something I don't like about this novel besides the very slow storyline, which is that the resolution of the case is very familial and seems 'unfinished.'
ππ»♀️ I didn't finish reading this novel (to be honest) because of the super slow plot. It was exciting and intriguing in the beginning, but because I've read other Keigo Sensei novels that are exciting and (more) sadistic, this novel was just normal for me. However, if you want to read a Keigo novel with a relaxed and summer atmosphere, this novel is for you.
