| Summary | For two ordinary schoolboys, Shimada and Kishita, a simple walk home turns into a nightmare when they encounter a gentleman whose face is a chilling wax mask—and whose body appears to be entirely empty. This terrifying discovery ignites Tokyo's most baffling mystery: the Invisible Phantom. This phantom figure isn't just a thief; he's a master illusionist whose eerie pranks escalate into grand thefts and chilling threats. As reports of an unseen terror grip the city, renowned Detective Akechi Kogoro is called upon to unmask a villain who seems to defy all logic. The Phantom’s ambition extends beyond mere riches, aiming to transform his foes into invisible allies, including Akechi himself. The great detective must unravel this sinister web of deceit and confront an enemy no one can see, or risk vanishing into thin air. |
