Tokyo, the Unorthodox Private Eye

In the shattered economy of Japan's bubble era, reborn detective Masahiro Haneda scrapes by, taking on any investigation he can get. His only edge is an information reward system—though the leads it provides are far from conventional, hinting at a secretary's secret lover or a yoga instructor's peculiar hobbies. Before long, his caseload balloons from petty infidelity to bloody homicides, and even reaches into the highest echelons of power. His clients range from office ladies and corporate presidents to teachers, actors, yakuza, secretive organizations, and famous entertainers—and naturally, a few powerful figures begin to take notice. After closing a case for Akina Nakamori, he reassures his client, President Sayuri: "I was just cross-checking leads. I kept her company a little longer—stop making such a big deal out of it." Yet this beautiful woman grows more attached to him by the day. "Don't force yourself," he tells her. "Just live as you are." Tokyo is Masahiro Haneda's battlefield—and in his eyes, the city holds no secrets. This is the story of a sharp detective who knows how to choose his battles, chasing money and conquest one case at a time.
