    It's heartbreaking, yet also heartwarming. A story about redeeming a beloved friend. A tragically beautiful, selfless, and devoted experimental subject + Detective Conan Police Academy group + happy ending. His friends all want to save him. The male lead is the childhood friend of undercover police officer Kei-ryu, a child who never grows up. He's captured by a criminal organization and used as an experimental subject—the kind that's incredibly cruel. Because he's been dissected alive every day, he suffers from smiling depression. The protagonist's cheat ability is astral projection, which allows him to travel to the police academy to find his five friends and attend together. To prevent them from investigating the criminal organization, he lies and claims to be dead. However, in the first chapter, one of his friends, Hagiwara Makoto, dies and becomes a ghost, drifting to the organization and discovering the protagonist being subjected to live experiments, causing him to have a complete mental breakdown. It's a story where the truth is revealed immediately in the first chapter, a suffocatingly heartbreaking development for his friends.
