The story
What it's about
Manami Tanizaki is a detective in the First Investigative Division of the Metropolitan Police Department who has a host of lovers (commonly known as ‘My Loves’).
She is living life to the full with her diverse array of ‘My Loves’, ranging from the tsundere type, the muscle-bound type, the mature older man type, the serious type, the junior colleague type, and the sadistic type.
Then, one day, a series of murders begins, with men she has been intimate with being killed one after another.
Teaming up with Soma, a junior detective who has a crush on her, she sets out to uncover the truth behind this bizarre spate of murders.
—I won’t let them be killed; I’ll keep doing it myself—
The many romances and murders of a ‘free-spirited detective’ living life on her own terms. An ultra-thrilling blend of romance, suspense and comedy!
