Synopsis
Akutagawa fights to reunite with sister Gin, joining the Armed Detective Agency after years of searching.
Ryuunosuke Akutagawa, a young man with a powerful ability, fights to protect his sister Gin and his friends in the harsh slums. When tragedy strikes his close-knit group, Akutagawa finds himself gravely injured and facing a mysterious figure in black who makes him an enigmatic promise about his sister's future. Years later, Akutagawa continues his relentless search for Gin, refusing to abandon hope despite the passage of time. His path crosses with Sakunosuke Oda, who offers him a chance at a new life with the Armed Detective Agency—a decision that may finally provide the breakthrough Akutagawa desperately seeks. As he navigates this unfamiliar world of detectives and supernatural abilities, Akutagawa must confront formidable adversaries and his own inner demons. The journey ahead will test his resolve and force him to make difficult choices in his quest to reunite with his sister.
Ryuunosuke Akutagawa lives in the slums, using his ability to beat up anyone who dares lay a finger on his sister, Gin, or his friends. But his life takes a turn for the worse when armed criminals come after his gang, killing them in the process. In an attempt to avenge his friends, Akutagawa finds himself on the verge of death. A mysterious man dressed in black greets him, saying that he will take care of his sister until Akutagawa is ready to challenge him again. More than four years have passed, and there is still no sign of the man in black or Gin. Even so, Akutagawa refuses to give up on his search. When Sakunosuke Oda takes pity on his living conditions and invites him to become a member of the Armed Detective Agency, an opportunity arises for Akutagawa to finally get a lead on Gin's whereabouts. Unbeknownst to him, however, Gin is guarded by none other than Port Mafia's wicked leader, Osamu Dazai, and his successor, Atsushi Nakajima—the infamous "White Reaper." To save his sister, Akutagawa must overcome his weakness and sacrifice it all.
