Beschreibung des Verlags
"Multiple personality detective" Kobayashi Yosuke seems to live on as a complex personality program inside the young, violent Tetora Nishizono--but the boy is now on a suicidal mission to destroy Japan's political leaders! This series will appeal to fans of nihilistic parables, like Paranoia Agent, Se7en, and the works of Takashi Miike, as well as other intelligent, adult manga series like The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and Monster.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Attention to detail makes the horror of this psychological detective series creepier. Its not just that we see a prisoner hanged; its that a panel is devoted to him soiling himself at the moment of death. Thats prelude to finding out that a group of criminals, as well as the title detective, are all marked by barcodes on the whites of their eyes and all are being investigated by an execution-happy justice minister. The case this time around involves a supposedly dead mass murderer playing deadly pranks (in a style reminiscent of Batmans Joker). As the number of crimes mount, the detective attempts to rescue his partner from a tanker-truck bombing. The varied personalities and plots can be confusing, but those whove been carefully following the series since the start will find their attention rewarded. The book has the fast-paced action of a movie thriller, exploring the boundaries of the human mind through extreme actions. Panels are light on text and designed so skillfully that the reader can take in events as quickly as they can turn the page. Adult comics readers looking for a manga they can sink their teeth into will find it here. "" .
