Description
The shocking, gritty new seinen crime thriller from the team behind bestselling manga My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought. A unique blend of cinematic art and realistic storytelling undergird the terrifying mysteries and wild reversals of this dark police procedural, which will appeal to older readers of crime novels and graphic fiction far beyond the usual manga audience. The Scar-Faced Man who attacked Jin and Kanon in Hokkaido remains a mystery, but is he connected to Shuji Inuyama, perpetrator of the massacre in Kuratsuchi all those years ago? Is he connected to Juzo Haikawa…? In the search for answers, Kanon goes to visit her “brother” Takeru in prison, where he’s serving time for his role in a counterfeit art scam—and he reveals the shocking truth: that Haikawa had a real son. Now this man is on the warpath, seeking revenge on the “fake” children who stole his father’s love…but the cheap copy of a Goya painting on the wall of Haikawa’s mansion may just prove his undoing…!The art here is brilliant. Photorealistic in places, disturbingly beautiful at times, Lonely Deaths Lie Thick as Snow … often feels more like watching a television drama than reading a book.− Erica Friedman, Anime News NetworkIf true crime-style narratives are your thing, don’t wait to pick this up.− Rebecca Silverman, Anime News Network The linework of the character designs is sharp, its faces expressive, and its shading uncannily accurate in portraying depth and even malice. … A truly fascinating series.− J.R. Waugh, ScreenRant
