Himitsu (Top Secret)
by SHIMIZU Reiko

Status in Japan: 12 volumes (complete)

Another work by Reiko Shimizu, or rather her newest. This series is a disturbing manga about solving murder cases by applying the newly developed method of viewing the memory of dead people's brains. And as in every manga done by this mangaka, weird supernatural forces are of course included. First chapter is actually a prologue and is concentrated on the first case where this method was used. It's first in chapter 2 that the two main characters are introduced, so hang on!

There's a GREAT review of Himitsu done by Hanayume! I couldn't have done one better so plz go THERE and read it!

Warning: You might come across disturbing scenes so consider yourself warned! I urge you to take time and read the well-done review about this series.

Other Reiko Shimizu manga: 22XX, Magic, Milky Way, Papillon, Tsuki no Ko, Wild Cats, Kaguya Hime, Ryuu no Nemeru Hoshi
