Tokyo Majin (東京魔人學園剣風帖 龖)

Who's there?

At the moment, no detailed information has been

released, beyond the fact that the victim was a student

from a high school in Tokyo...

Just like you asked for, here's one exactly

as it was found, no autopsy done on it yet.

Too smokey in here...

What are you talking about, you're smoking, too.

Anyway... Why don't you help me move her?

Not gonna happen.

Oh, that's nice.

What kind of an attitude is that from

a guy who wants a favor?

Just shut up and do your job.

Yeah, yeah...

This one brings the total to five, huh?

That we were able to find, at least.

Anyhow, every last drop of water's been

sucked from her body.

Desiccated.

That's right.

Kind of a shame, still...

I mean, she was just a high schooler, you know?

Seems like a waste...

Shut the hell up and get to work.

I'm goin', I'm goin'...

Huh?

What in the hell's that?

I'll leave her in your hands.

Hey! What the hell, man?

And today's lesson...

What's the matter?

Don't you wanna eat any of this?

They're organic.

"He, His, Him".

"You, Your, You".

So, over here it's, like, all about you!

Putting that aside for now, in this instance...

It depends on the indirect object that follows and then--

you!

I got him again! Yes!

Get your ass out here!

Let's settle this shit once and for all!

Not again.

The Four Great Ones from Sumida.

Those dipshits never learn...

Kyoichi?

Hey.

What about a little coffee break huh?

I prefer strawberry milk.

Oh, great.

The juvenile delinquent and the

narcoleptic transfer student are bonding.

KYOICHI] Maria, sweetie, I got a little fever.

I'm going home early.

Yeah, I got a stomach ache.

You two listen to me...

Hey! Get back here!

See ya later!

That boring class was putting me to sleep.

But I'm awake now.

How dare you?!

Here we go...

Those idiots!

Komaki?

Huh?

Just as I thought...

It's too weak a link.

I can only assume I'm overlooking some element.

How?

More than 20 in two months.

The other gangs can't figure it out either...

I don't know, man,

it couldn't possibly be normal people doin' this stuff.

It's not entirely certain that they're people...

We oughta check with the boss on this one before

we make any moves.

Huh?

Have you two ever heard of the "living dead"?

What do you mean all of them?

I'm not kidding here!

I didn't even finish my autopsy on that new girl,

before she runs off on me!

I mean, that's gotta be against the rules!

Hey, you didn't know this was going to happen, did you?

Shut up and do your job.

But all the bodies are gone...

I'm gonna use this thing to shove it right up your ass!

All right, dickhead, let's play ball!

I guess I've got no choice...

Hmm?

Horaji...

You always make me look stupid when we fight but this time,

I swear to God, it's not gonna work! I'll kill y--

What the heck are you doing?!

Is this a geology experiment?

If you must know, I was on the trail of a scoop.

Whatever you're doing.

You have enthusiasm.

The mysterious transfer student, Tatsuma Hiyu, hooks up

with resident delinquent Kyoichi Horaiji and the two proceed to

cut class, get into brawls both on and off campus, buy junk food

to eat on the way home, and all of this adds up to a

record 26 offenses in the past two months.

So you you think I'm "mysterious", huh?

Anko!

Holy shit, you're one persistent little pest! I dunno if you call

it journalism or what, but in my book I'd call what you're doing

just plain old-fashioned spying, ya friggin' stalker!

You're like the pa- pa-

Paparazzi?

Yeah, that's right, that's the word.

Parapazzi!

It's "paparazzi."

I don't consider that an insult.

But why don't I cut to the chase and ask what I've been

curious about: what have you guys been up to at night lately?

I saw you with student council president Aoi Misato,

the captain of the archery team, Komaki Sakurai, and the captain

of the wrestling team, Yuuya Daigo. That's kind of an

odd social circle, don't you think? I mean,

I've never even seen you guys talk to each other at school...

I smell a rat!

Listen here, little snitch! I'd rather die than team up

with a bunch of candy-asses!

Oh, would you now? Man, do I ever smell a scoop!

I can't listen to any more of this crap.

Tatsuma, let's get out of here!

The living dead?

I'm telling you, old man Yang used to know a

thing or two about Taoism.

You're kidding, right?

He happens to be the leader of the notorious

"Three Wise Men" of east Shinjuku.

It's always the quiet ones...

Well, it's a complicated story...

...but now he's supposedly a fine, upstanding citizen.

At least, that's the story I heard.

And I've got a hunch he may have a couple of ideas about why

we haven't been getting any sleep lately.

Wang, Fan, They're here!

Oh, shit.

Fuku Ju Ko Mu Ryo!

Damn it! I ain't gonna lose!

Rin Pyo To Sha Kai Jin Retsu Zen!

KO!

Wha--

Let's check it out.

Fan! Wang!

It can't be! Is that you, Boss?

It was that girl...

Yang! Wang! Fan!

That was the girl.

You mean the girl who washed up here?

Yeah.

Old man Yang said he'd give us the rest of

the story when we caught up with him.

The living dead...

There is a certain kind of evil spirit known as

a Fuishimon, which kills its former friends and family.

If the giant creature you saw is controlling them,

it may be a kind of Moryo devil.

Mor-yo, huh?

They're spirits that live in nature, it's said that

Moryo are devils that prey upon corpses.

So they just ended up as zombie chow.

Those guys Kyoichi knew and that girl from Houmei High.

What the hell are you saying? Is that why we've been at this

hunt for two weeks and we're still ending up nowhere? Huh?

Komaki.

That's because we've been unable to determine

a common link among the victims.

Jeez.

Old man Yang was way more helpful than you are...

Don't compare me to that renegade Taoist hermit!
