By: Eiji Otsuka
Artist: Sho-u Tajima

Several months after surviving the "Ghost Condo Massacre," our favorite multiple personality detective-the man we've known as Kazuhiko Amamiya--has been missing, possibly under the control of his unhinged, murderous Shinji Nishizono personality. While faithfully waiting for Amamiya to return, Machi Isono is invited to witness an unusual presentation hosted by Japan's Minister of Justice, who then threatens to shut down Machi's Criminal Research Lab. While Machi finds herself getting closer and closer to the heart of the Gakuso Society, Detective Sasayama's career is in trouble. Miwa, Machi's younger sister, bumps into the downtrodden, bumbling Sasayama right after having eye surgery she takes him shopping, and a strange relationship begins to form.

But unfortunately for Yoh, every shaman in the world is competing for the same prize.

Yoh rushes to aid his friends in battle, but is too late to save one of his most gifted allies. Can Jeanne, the leader of the X-Laws, restore him with her healing abilities? She may be our heroes' only hope...but her price is Yoh's withdrawal from the Shaman Fight!
