| Summary | In the heart of 1930s Tokyo, a love-struck youth, Fusao Mitani, is plunged into a nightmare after a deadly poison duel for the affections of the beautiful Fumiko Yanagibashi. Though his rival seemingly perishes, his ominous presence lingers, replaced by an even more terrifying entity: the "Lipless Man." This grotesque phantom orchestrates a reign of terror, marked by impossible disappearances, shocking kidnappings, and gruesome discoveries that defy all rational explanation. As Fumiko’s life and sanity hang by a thread, legendary detective Kogoro Akechi is drawn into a labyrinth of sorcery and deceit. But against a foe who can vanish into thin air and leave behind trails of chilling art, can even the sharpest mind uncover the truth before the demon claims its final, horrifying victory. |
