Kamen Tantei Volume 1

A pair of young aspiring mystery writers tries to crack the most bizarre, baffling, and hilarious cases around them. But as clues often lead to a dead end, lucky for our duo, the Masked Detective always seems to show up in the nick of time to help!

In this light-hearted comedy from the creator of Petshop of Horrors, it's not always about solving the crimes--but you can be sure that the trail of evidence will lead to a hoot and a holler!

By the Petshop of Horrors creator. This one is about a pair of young aspiring mystery writers who have weird incidents happen around them that need solving. Luckily for them, the Masked Detective inexplicably always shows up to help. The focus of the story is light-hearted comedy and not about solving the crimes but rather poking fun at the process. This series doesn't take itself seriously like Kindaiichi.

Matsuri Akino is a master of gothic shoujo, and is the manga-ka for such series as Yokahama Alien, Kamen Tantei (The Masked Detective), Genjyuu no Seiza (Constellation of the Imaginary Beast), and the Elixer series. She's also the creator of Pet Shop of Horrors, which was her first manga translated into English. Pet Shop of Horrors was also made into a critically acclaimed OVA anime series by Madhouse (Vampire Hunter D, Metropolis). ********** Birthday: July 7. Born and raised in Tokyo. Currently lives in Yokohama, but is a Tigers fan [NOTE: The Hanshin Tigers are a team near Kobe, in western Japan FAR from Yokohama and Tokyo.] Previous works: 'Pet Shop of Horrors' and others.

A fun horror filled comedy from Akino Matsuri. Her beautiful art and story telling ability's come alive once again in this intriguing, and inspiring series. A must read for fellow fans of her previous work Petshop of horrors, fans of this series will see a character that bears a great resemblance to the Count, and a few others as they read along with the masked trio. It will give you a whole new perspective on what lies in the depths of our minds, and how things aren't always what they seem.
