To most people, Eiji Urashima (Ryosuke Yamada) seems like a pretty typical university student. He goes to class, studies when he should, and has fun hanging out with his friends. But what most people don’t know is that Eiji is the son of a serial killer.

Known for murdering female university students in horrendous ways, Eiji’s father has built quite a reputation for himself. As much as Eiji abhors what his father does, there’s nothing he can do to stop him. As if being the son of a serial killer wasn’t bad enough, Eiji often suffers from memory blackouts, and they seem to be getting worse. Beginning to fear he may be sharing his life with an alternate personality, Eiji’s fears only escalate when a new murder takes place, a murder which exactly matches the style of his sadistic father.

Determined to uncover the truth, Eiji accepts the help of the victim’s closest friend, Nami (Rina Kawaei). Working together, will they be able to uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again?

Roppongi Class

The beheaded corpse of a man is found in Tokyo. His body appears to have been cut with an almost impossibly sharp blade. But there is one baffling detail about this case: There is no sign of blood around the cut. A young and ambitious female news reporter named Mio Sanjo (Mai Fukagawa) tries to get to the bottom of the case – only to witness a horrific plume of what looks like filthy black dust gushing from the wound. The police officers cannot see this dust, but Mio Sanjo knows that her eyes are not deceiving her...

She soon learns that two mysterious men named Kakeru Osagami (Saotome Taichi) and Sho Iotsu (Endo Yuya) can also “see” this black filth – and have a very keen interest in it! It turns out that Kakeru Osagami is a “blade master” who is on the hunt for the sword that cut the man. He has a deadly quest: Hunting down these so-called “filth blades,” which have been forged from human evil and can corrupt the souls of those who wield them. But with every blade he neutralizes, Kakeru Osagami absorbs some of the “filth.” Can he wipe out all of the blades before the “filth” consumes him?
