The Shangshiliang Files of Abnormal Events

In 1995, in Shibuya, Tokyo, a horrific crime committed by two high school students, which resulted in the deaths of 189 young children, shocked all of Japan. Thirteen years later, just as Kamiishi Ryo begins his studies at Kyoto University, he is drawn into a series of major cases, as if by fate.

A cold genius professor who murdered his own younger brother. A scheming class representative who says, "We're close, but not so close that I couldn't kill you." A childhood friend who died. A tough-as-nails policewoman who can't let go of the past. A frail girl who calls herself a prophet and must sleep at least twelve hours a day...

This is a coming-of-age tale about a defective product and a group of troubled girls.
