When the story begins without its hero Kimihiko Kimizuka has always been a magnet for trouble and intrigue. For as long as he can remember, he’s been stumbling across murder scenes or receiving mysterious attache cases to transport. When he met Siesta, a brilliant detective fighting a secret war against an organization of pseudohumans, he couldn’t resist the call to become her assistant and join her on an epic journey across the world. ...Until a year ago, that is.

On the flight there, however, he hears the same words as he did four years ago: “Is there a detective on the plane?”
