Kirihara Misaki, the prodigy detective, has to deal with another victim of “the contractor”. It’s new species which derived from human being. It lose emotions and gained special power. Some can’t control the power, we call them “moratoria” and others lose completely in the power, “Dolls”. When they fight each other, normal human may have ultimate effect.
Kirisaki found that the stronger contractor, BK-201 is somehow connected with this case. He’s known as The Dark Reaper. What is he doing here in Tokyo? Can Kirisaki reveals the mystery behind?
Well, it’s kinda creepy, but not as creepy as Gantz, Abara or Domu. You might find it interesting.

I was very bothered by the scribbling art, so I didn’t enjoy the story. This is sad for me as a mystery lover!

Over reacting! This is my first impression on this manga. I can’t imagine someone so eccentric as this professor. It’s way too far from reality.
What’s missing from this story is the creator often forgets about us, the reader. So the main character is describe as one-man show person. He can dig everything while we’re left to say “wow! How’s that possible??”
Anyway, I should talk about the story, right?
There’s a new tenant next to Ai, Mii and Mai’s house. The twin sisters are excited to see their new neighbor. He’s a professor of logic in some university. But, his nature is a bit different from normal people.
His house is completely dirty. Books are everywhere and his only furniture is a couch where he sleeps and reads every single day. He suffers great dementia. He forgets a lot, including his name. But, when things go wrong, he can analyze it quickly and easily. His logic is way beyond average people.
That’s why he always proud to introduce himself as Kiyoshiro Yumemizu, the great detective!

She’s a private detective. But, she looks like a beggar than an investigator. None would notice her real job since she’s always sitting in that corner. Sometimes she’s just drawing, the other day she would play her guitar or typing in her note book. She puts her name tag in front of her which sounds like:
Mariel Imari
Investigazioni
This is a gag manga which requires a lot of attention to catch the meaning. Well, I hope you like it.
I just found it in hanashi

After his parents died in dramatic fire accident, Shima grows with that trauma. Everytime he sees burning things, he can’t breathe. It’s just a weakness he has as a detective. Yes, he heritages a detective agency from his father, called “Yoruzoya Tokaido Honpu”(Anything, Inc). One of his first clients is Kaori, a famous model with stage name “Kyou”. They soon became best friends and then, Kaori works part time to help Shima.
I really don’t understand the friendship between men. I thought a relationship full of feeling only happens to women. But, Saenagi Ryo sensei–once again–portrays a close relationship between 2 friends. Hmm…smells like yaoi to me..he he
The story ends in 9 volumes.
