Every puzzle contains thirteen overlapping 9x9 Sudoku grids. The first part of the book develops the classic Gattai-13 format; the final 35 puzzles change the rules while preserving the same giant interconnected architecture.
For experienced overlapping-Sudoku solvers who want one large volume that moves from classic Gattai-13 into systematic variant practice.
The individual 9x9 grids follow Sudoku rules, but the shared cells belong to more than one grid. A deduction in one part of the layout can unlock another grid several steps away, so the full construction must be treated as one connected logical system.

Work where the logic is strongest, transfer every confirmed shared digit into the neighboring grid, and allow progress to circulate through the entire layout.
The physical edition contains 99 puzzles across 129 pages in a 8.5 x 11 inches trim size. That format is part of the buying decision: compare it with the neighboring DJAPE volumes by quantity, difficulty, and working space rather than by title alone.
How this volume fits the DJAPE collectionThis book belongs to DJAPE's thirteen-grid Super Samurai / Quad Samurai range. The nearby volumes differ by puzzle count, difficulty grading, and the presence of variants or LOCO finales, so this edition should be chosen for the exact mixture described below rather than as an interchangeable duplicate.
Choose this volume when you want to explore several related rules or formats before committing to a more specialized book. It is designed to broaden your solving vocabulary rather than repeat one pattern throughout.
Originality: all puzzles in this volume are original to this book and are not reused in the other DJAPE puzzle books covered by this project.
