Iichan, now a cynical and disaffected college student, believes his days of involvement with crime are firmly behind him. Preferring to remain detached and sarcastically observing the world, he focuses on his own sense of isolation rather than his studies.

Iichan finds himself unwillingly pulled back into a dark narrative, forced to confront the grisly crime scenes that serve as Zerozaki's twisted canvas.
