Like many manga-styled novels, the story begins with a naked woman posing for a picture. The story very quickly goes in a different direction, however, as the important element is not the woman—but a ghostly image in the background. It’s not long before a skeleton, a psychic investigator, and what may be the spirit of a murdered girl enter the picture, setting the stage for a mystery far greater than what the young woman trying to make a name for herself as a reporter had bargained for.

This spooky little page-turner blends horror and the supernatural with a good old-fashioned murder mystery, laced throughout with dry wit. Housui Yamazaki shows equal talents with words and pictures.
