| Summary | Chigusa Jūjirō, a jaded newspaper chief, yearns for an uneventful night, but his weary routine shatters with a frantic phone call: Nagashima Wakana, the nation's beloved pop singer, has been brutally murdered. Plunging into the high-stakes world of celebrity and crime, Chigusa faces a bizarre confession from Wakana's estranged husband, a reclusive acoustics researcher, who claims he committed the "sound wave murder" with a terrifying invention. But as jealous accusations fly among Wakana's inner circle—her accompanist, his socialite wife, and a scheming patron—Chigusa must navigate a tangled web of lies and ambition. With journalistic integrity and his own sanity on the line, he uncovers unsettling truths that blur the lines between genius and madness. What dark secrets truly led to Wakana's demise, and what is the ultimate price of uncovering them. |
