Detective Conan: Why Is It So Hard for Me to Just Stay Alive?

After dying in a chaotic explosion, Hirai Kujo awakens from a jumble of memories to a new life...

He's eating and sleeping well, and his massive fists could take on twenty teams of elementary-school protagonists. He's a towering, fearsome giant. But... but this is the Detective Conan universe, where deaths count toward performance reviews and somebody gets murdered in every episode!

A burly man who died to eight bullets has lost his dream.

And that's not all. As he's packing up to leave home, a handbook that can predict deaths adds an even more unsettling twist to the situation.

With his conscience beating fiercely in his chest, Hirai Kujo takes one step after another down a path of rescuing people from danger and giving the dead the truth they deserve.

The victims' dying cries are like invisible threads of a spider's web, full of unwillingness, while the truth hangs within his reach...

But before that, let's go to the docks for some fries... Wait, no, find a wife first?
