Is the doctor somehow responsible for what happened to Naruko? And if so, how far will Garo go for revenge?

DOUBLE TROUBLE!The Hatomura twins are constantly switching places, and Totonou has been tasked with finding a way to tell them apart once and for all. But everything changes when he stumbles upon the family's dark and dangerous secret. Totonou soon figures out how to tell the sisters apart, but by revealing it is he putting the girls in danger? Then, when Detective Aoto's daughter is kidnapped, he finds himself teaming up with Totonou to get her back. Things get complicated when the kidnapping's connections to a cold case from eight years ago come to light...the very same case that earned Detective Aoto infamy for accusing an innocent man of murder! Can Totonou help him find the right culprit this time around?

When Totonou's favourite professor asks him for a favor, the usually introverted Totonou can't help but say yes. Professor Amatatsu is planning a weekend getaway in the snowy countryside. Once all the guests are assembled, one of them suggests they play a murder mystery game. But as the snow continues to fall and people start to act more and more strangely, Totonou starts to suspect that this isn't a game at all! Afterward, Totonou gets to spend more time with his friend Leica, a girl he met in the hospital. But there is more to Leica than meets the eye, and Totonou has to deal with a stunning realization about his friend.

Kunou Totonou keeps finding himself right in the middle of mystery after mystery. After taking a tumble down a hill, Totonou is hurt and ends up in the hospital. There he meets a beautiful young woman named Leica. As he follows her coded instructions, he uncovers a disturbing urban legend about an "Angel of Embers" who's made it their mission to save children. But who exactly is this "angel" and what are their true intentions?

A CURSED INHERITANCE When Totonou goes to Hiroshima, his only goal is to finally see an art exhibit (and maybe run into his fugitive best friend). But instead, Totonou gets dragged into a battle of wits. Kariatsumari Shioji is a teenage girl who needs his help. Shioji and her cousins have been named as beneficiaries in their grandfather’s will, but they’ll only receive their share if they can solve a cryptic puzzle. If that wasn’t enough, Shioji suspects that her cousins are willing to kill in order to win. After all, last time there was an inheritance battle in the family, a whole generation ended up getting wiped out. Can Totonou unravel the mystery before there’s another bloodbath?

Totonou is a young college student who stands out—both for his bushy hairdo and his finely-honed abilities of observation and deduction. When Totonou is accused of murder, he puts his skills to work and uses his exceptional insights to find the real killer. Later, all Totonou wants to do is return to his own little world, but he can't avoid getting caught up in one mystery after another. In his own blunt yet gentle way, Totonou is a truth seeker who tries to make sense of a chaotic—and often dangerous—world.

Scientists had predicted this disaster, and in response, the leaders of every country met to develop a plan for human survival before the meteor hit. The 7Seeds project was developed out of this meeting. Each country froze a number of young healthy people, which allowed them to survive the meteor. After the computer determined that Earth was once again safe for human life, it released them into the world. The Japanese government created five groups of survivors: Winter group, Spring group, Summer group A, Summer group B, and Fall group. Each group consisted of seven members and one guide. The guide carried small tubes of poison on their necks to allow them to end their lives if their situation became unbearable. The Japanese government prepared seven "Fuji" as refuges for the groups. In each Fuji, the group would find seeds and numerous books instructing them on survival in the wilderness.
