As a Half-Demon, I Always End Up in a Love Rival Showdown in the Detective World

Mochizuki Ri is a half-yokai fox and an assistant inspector in the International Crime Division of the Organized Crime Department at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

An ordinary Japanese man through and through, Mochizuki Ri worked diligently as a police officer and did his best to bring his fellow recruits along. Unfortunately, things never went smoothly. He kept running into strange cases, and as he investigated, he was eventually captured by an executive in a criminal organization. Left with no choice, he and his fellow recruits joined forces to stage a carefully planned act of pretending to defect.

In the end, he had to sacrifice himself to protect his comrades. All that remained was the wandering soul of a fox yokai, stripped of its memories and left with nothing but its instincts and bestial nature, drifting aimlessly through the world.

Yet he kept encountering people who knew him:

Akai Shuichi lifted him from the rubble: "You're my lover."

Gin pointed a gun at him and gave a cold laugh. "So you really aren't human."

Morofushi Hiromitsu held him tightly, eyes moist. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."

Furuya Rei stared at his face for a long moment before finally speaking. "You really came back! Maybe it's for the best that you've forgotten some things."

Hagiwara Kenji put on a carefree smile. "It's okay if you don't remember. We can get to know each other again."

Matsuda Jinpei punched the wall. "Don't think you can wipe the slate clean just because you've lost your memory!"

Mochizuki Ri: ??? How long was I asleep? How did I lose so many memories?

(Gin was later altered so that he isn't fully human. He'll return to normal.)
