Before Nakajima Kohaku could catch his breath after painstakingly saving his own life, he discovered that he'd been framed for the murder. The public gave him bizarre names like "the Crimson Murderer," which was bad enough. Even the authorities, owing to his [Unknown Identity], identified him as the legendary great yokai Nue and secretly kept him under strict surveillance.
As the days passed, the strange nicknames attached to Nakajima Kohaku kept piling up.

In a family of three, who drives a wedge between husband and wife?
At the dining table, who goes wild adding salt to the soup?
