Many Japanese soldiers committed hara-kiri while island hopping during World War II. However, it seems someone — or something — still lives, and is out to kill Kindaichi and his friends... Can Kindaichi get him and his friends off the island before they're all killed?
Hajime Kindaichi
Although this 17-year-old high school junior has an IQ of 180, Hajime's slacker attitude has earned him a reputation as poor student and something of a troublemaker. But he's actually a brilliant amateur detective, who uses his uncanny powers of observation and deduction to solve even the most unusual of cases. Hajime is the grandson of Kousuke Kindaichi, a celebrated detective in his own right.
Miyuki Nanase
Also a 17-year-old high school junior. She has been friends with Hajime since childhood. Unlike Hajime, she is a popular, straight-A student. And, unbeknownst to her, she is also Hajime's love interest.
Isamu Kenmochi
A police inspector who is an occasional partner of Hajime.
Kengo Akechi
An extremely smart police superintendent who enjoys a competitive friendship with Kindaichi.

I love the twists and turns in this one. And the story lines keep getting better and better. Really wish the new one was out though.

Next to Detective Conan this is by far one of the best mystery series in manga.
