Synopsis
Following the life-and-death struggle with the "Sensei" depicted in the anime's finale, the story of Kosuke Mikado and Rihito Hiyakawa moves to a new stage. The manga, continuing from Volume 6, Chapter 26, begins with a case involving a curse placed on Detective Hanzawa's wife, and the investigation once again points to the young necromancer, Erika Hiura. This incident forces Erika to confront her past actions, and she begins to suspect that Mikado may have been the one who betrayed her.The narrative delves deeper into the previously shrouded, tragic past of Hiyakawa, his family, and the inner workings of the religious group he founded, "Shoko no Oshie." Furthermore, the secret of Mikado's own birth is revealed: his father is none other than the "Sensei." The "Sensei" had previously been saved by the unconscious exorcism abilities of his wife and Mikado; however, unable to bear the psychological strain, he ultimately abandoned them.In the final confrontation, Hiyakawa becomes trapped in a different dimension created by the "Sensei." Mikado, with the help of allies like Erika, Sakaki, Hanzawa, and Mukae, goes to rescue him. To Hiyakawa, who has used hatred as a source of power, Mikado asks, "Do you still need it (hatred), even with me by your side?" ultimately saving his soul. After all the battles are over, the two return to their normal lives, taking a new step forward as a psychic detective duo.
Review
The confrontation with the "Sensei" shown in the anime was merely a prologue to a much grander story. The manga from Volume 6 onwards delves deeper into the psyche of each character, weaving a profound human drama where their pasts and presents intricately intertwine.The revelation of the past of Hiyakawa—who until now seemed emotionally detached—is particularly compelling. It clarifies his motivations and his attachment to Mikado, adding significant depth to the narrative. Mikado's growth is also remarkable, as he transforms from being merely frightened to becoming a powerful force to save Hiyakawa. While retaining its horror and mystery elements, the story transcends the BL genre to depict a moving conclusion about a spiritual bond that will surely touch the hearts of many readers. For those captivated by their story in the anime, reading the manga to witness its conclusion is a must.
