Sôtarô travaille à l’agence de détective Ôtsuji. Dans une ville où les rumeurs tourbillonnent comme de la fumée, il enquête sur une série de mystérieuses disparitions. Cependant, sans indice probant et sans aucun témoin, ses investigations n’avancent pas. Porté par son instinct doublé d’un sentiment de menace, il plonge dans le quartier souterrain de la ville appelé Kuragari. Une rencontre avec une certaine Tanne aux commandes d’un train blindé va bouleverser son destin…

The story begins in the early Showa era of the 20th century. A mysterious old man on a train relates the disappearance of his older brother three decades ago, near the 12-story Ryounkaku tower that once stood in the seaside town of Uozu, Japan. The mystery revolves around telescopes, peep shows, and the blurred boundary between reality and dreams.

A wild baseball story full of youth, blood and laughter!

Rin Suzune is a nine-year-old girl who, due to her parents' deaths, lives alone and runs her family's restaurant by herself. Since she is a child, she lacks the proper knowledge to cook good food and manage a business, so her attempts to make money are unsuccessful. To make matters worse, she is bullied in school for being poor! But through it all, Rin remains resilient. Although her restaurant's food is not the greatest, local residents are drawn to the establishment, hoping to lend Rin a hand because of her sincere nature.
