The Detective Is Already Dead

Kimihiko Kimizuka finds himself in the middle of an airplane hijacking where he meets Siesta, a silver-haired detective with a mysterious past. The two stop the attack and spend three years hunting down SPES, a secret organization of superhumans. When Siesta dies in the line of duty, Kimihiko returns to high school life, trying to forget the trauma. A package containing her preserved heart arrives months later, dragging him back into the conspiracy.

Nigojū wrote the series while Umibōzu provided the character designs. Media Factory released the first volume under the MF Bunko J imprint on November 1, 2019. Yen Press handles the English localization for both the light novels and the manga adaptation by Mugiko. The story blends supernatural mystery with heavy themes of grief and memory as Kimihiko navigates his dual existence. [แก้ไข]
