[The Kindaichi Case Files] The Game

One day, Akechi Kengo, an elite inspector at the Metropolitan Police Department, receives a special gift. A bouquet of roses and a box. The scarlet roses look like a declaration of love, yet brim with murderous intent. The pitch-black box conceals a criminal challenge from the Puppet Master of Hell. At the time, Akechi never expected that by opening it himself, he would unleash a Pandora's box and set countless entanglements in motion...
