L FILE No. 15

L works as a detective, and this short manga looks at what lies behind that role rather than at the cases themselves: the years before he took it up, and the ordinary days that fill his time. Two chapters make up the volume. The first follows the events leading up to L becoming a detective, tracing the path that ends in the work he is known for. The second follows his daily life, keeping to the routines and habits of a single day. Together they sketch a figure seen from the side rather than the front: how he arrived where he is, and how he fills the hours when no case is underway. Nothing here is a puzzle to be solved; the attention stays on the person who takes them on.
