A Port Mafia-era story of loyalty and departure

Set before Osamu Dazai joins the Armed Detective Agency, this volume turns to his years as a Port Mafia executive and the bond among Dazai, Odasaku, and Ango, despite their differences in rank. Ango’s disappearance sends Odasaku on a search that leads toward Mimic, a foreign criminal organization. The story connects a missing-person pursuit with the circumstances surrounding Dazai’s departure from the Mafia, bringing the novel’s focus to friendship, divided loyalties, and the criminal underworld of Yokohama.

  • Teens and young adults interested in light novels and manga-related stories.
