Synopsis
A legendary manga magazine editor, once a dominant figure in the industry, falls to his death from a building rooftop shortly after being appointed as editor-in-chief to revive a struggling manga magazine at a mid-tier publishing company. Staff members and industry insiders whisper that his death was inevitable, given his controversial past.
Was it murder or suicide? Publishing industry investigator Yuki repeatedly teams up with Daigo, who coincidentally becomes the successor as editor-in-chief. Together, they begin unraveling the mysterious death of the legendary editor. Their only clue: an old manga manuscript left behind by the deceased, created by an unknown artist.
As their investigation deepens, they discover connections to the “Shimoyama Incident,” one of Japan’s greatest post-war mysteries. Behind this connection lies the existence of a mysterious manga artist who depicted the Shimoyama Incident with uncanny accuracy in their work.
Watch as this gripping mystery unravels the complex web connecting a modern-day death in the publishing industry to one of Japan’s most intriguing historical cases.
