Sachi-iro no One Room Gaiden: Seikai no Meitantei Manhua

As the rain beat down on the city streets, Matsubase's mind raced with doubts and fears. The offer from Aketoyo was both a lifeline and a trap, dangling the promise of financial freedom in front of him like a forbidden fruit. He knew the cases would be no ordinary mysteries to unravel, but the stakes were too high to refuse. With each case he solved, Matsubase felt himself slipping further into a world where shadows held more truth than light. Every clue led him down a labyrinth of deceit, his instincts sharpened by years of chasing criminals now turned against him. The line between right and wrong blurred as he unearthed secrets that whispered of a darkness he never knew existed. The weight of his decisions pressed down on him like a boulder, threatening to crush his resolve. But he couldn't turn back now, not when the path ahead was shrouded in mystery and danger. The faces of those he encountered flickered in his mind, their motives as unclear as the reflection on a rain-slicked pavement. As he delved deeper into the heart of each case, Matsubase realized that the true puzzle he faced wasn't the enigma presented to him by Aketoyo, but the one buried deep within himself. Would he emerge from this trial by fire unscathed, or would the truths he uncovered leave scars too deep to heal? In the neon-lit world of Seikai no Meitantei, where every step carried him closer to the edge of his morality, Matsubase knew one thing for certain: the only way out was through, no matter the cost.
