Anna Karenina

Mikazuki!

What are you doing here?

Hey, is this your cat?

Who are you?

Are you awake?

What's going on?

Are you a Medical Ninja or something?

No, but I know emergency first aid.

Looks like I owe you one.

You can thank Mikazuki who found you.

Mikazuki?

Hm?

I see!

So, this guy's name is Mikazuki.

Thanks, little guy!

My name is Samidare.

I'm Mitsuki.

I'll bring you something to warm you up.

Aren't you gonna ask?

Why I was lying wounded back there?

I really don't care either way.

Or, did you want me to ask?

You're a weird guy!

Mitsuki's Rainy Day

I'm back.

Your wound's okay now?

Yeah, well…

I feel bad inconveniencing you.

I don't mind if you're here.

Do you have a place to go?

I came to this village to see my little sister.

Your little sister?

Yeah.

She works for a company here.

I hate sounding like a proud big brother,

but she's really got her stuff together.

Oh.

C'mon!

What's with that bored look on your face?

That's not it!

I have a really close friend who has a soft spot for his little sister.

I don't have any,

but it seems little sisters are very dear to their big brothers.

Well, yeah.

But I'm a horrible and heartless big brother.

I made excuses and said I had a lot work.

I never even bothered to visit my sister after she moved here, until now.

Oh.

But you're here now.

I was a little too late though.

Oh yeah!

You saved me from becoming even more heartless…

So, I want to show you my gratitude.

It's okay, don't worry about it.

Not you!

I meant Mikazuki.

PET SHOP THE CAT'S PAWS

PET SHOP THE CAT'S PAWS Thank you very much!

There you go!

A bell?

It looks good on you!

Now it'll be easy to know where you are, right?

But it's not like Mikazuki is my cat.

What are you saying?

Mikazuki's so attached to you.

To you as well, it seems.

Huh?

Are you thanking me for the collar?

You have a strong sense of duty for a cat.

There, there!

There, there!

You have a way with cats. Do you have one?

No, my little sister did.

I was shocked when I heard the name.

My little sister's name is Mikazuki.

Wow, what a coincidence!

Imagine the look on her face when she finds out!

Yeah, you're right.

I think she woulda gotten a kick outta that.

Hey!

Mitsuki!

Anyway, take care…

Mitsuki and Mikazuki.

Who was that just now?

I just met him the other day.

He's a friend of mine and Mikazuki's,

and he's Mikazuki's older brother.

Mikazuki's…

…older brother?!

Never mind that. We've been summoned!

Okay!

LEAF POLICE FORCE

LEAF POLICE FORCE A security mission?

Yes.

We're to guard Mr. Kaneki the president of The Kaneki Corporation.

They're a chemical company on par with the Kaminarimon Company, right?

BE ON ALERT According to our investigation, the likelihood is very high

BE ON ALERT that he's the next target of the “Rainy Day Killer.”

The Rainy Day Killer?

The guy who's always on the news these days?

BE ON ALERT That's the alias of the serial killer

BE ON ALERT that we're pursuing with our reputation at stake!

Oh, right.

Their crimes are always committed on rainy days.

Hence, the nickname.

All of his victims were stabbed with something thin and sharp.

The murder weapon is still a mystery.

There's a high probability that the perpetrator is a shinobi.

But, I understand the ages and occupations of the three victims are all different…

During our investigations, we uncovered an unusual commonality.

Two years ago,

there was an explosion at the Kaneki Corporation's chemical plant

that caused some serious damage.

Don't tell me, the murder victims were all connected to that incident?!

Yes. They were all connected to that project

or were involved in the investigation into the accident.

But why were they targeted by the Rainy Day Killer?

We don't know.

However, only survivor connected to that incident is President Kaneki.

So that's why the chances are high that he's the next target.

We'll catch the Rainy Day Killer, ya know!

BE ON ALERT

BE ON ALERT I'm heading to Kaneki's residence right now.

BE ON ALERT I want you to come with me.

Yes, sir!

What do you mean you don't need a security detail?

Why would I be targeted by the Rainy Day Killer?

I have no recollection of anything remotely related to that!

Leave immediately!

I have no need of your guards!

In the event that something happens, my own bodyguards will suffice!

Please excuse me.

Mr. Kotaro really knows what he's doing, leaving us here to secretly guard him.

Will you please be serious?!

President Kaneki's attitude is suspicious.

But right now, protecting him from the Rainy Day Killer is our top priority.

Mr. Kotaro said it himself.

I know that.

Since we've been given the responsibility, I'm not gonna let anyone else get hurt.

Rain.

Hey, you think the perp is gonna show up?

I don't know.

But if he still tries, despite all this security…

Yeah.

It means the perp's determined to get his target at any cost.

There!

Who goes there?!

Halt!

What's wrong?!

Wh-Who are you?!

Impossible! Impossible! Are you—?!

That's as far as you'll go.

Hey stop!

I got this!

Be careful!

Multiple Striking Shadow Snakes!

What was that jutsu just now?

I didn't see anything.

Sorry, he got away.

He was able to evade you?
