Synopsis
Ex-stage magician Shougo and ward Yuki confront supernatural crimes while shielding their fragile bond from a dark past.
Shougo, once celebrated as a prodigy of stage magic, has stepped away from the spotlight and now lives a quiet life as the guardian of a young girl named Yuki. Haunted by a dark incident from his past, he has turned his back on the world of illusions, though his sharp intellect and mastery of deception remain undiminished. Together, they find themselves drawn into mysterious and dangerous situations—crimes that seem to defy explanation. Using his unique blend of logic and showmanship, Shougo navigates these perilous events, all while protecting the fragile bond he shares with Yuki. Their story unfolds as a tense, atmospheric tale of secrets, survival, and the lingering shadows of a past neither of them can fully escape. (Source: Hyluko's Gallery)
