Spica - Crime and Punishment 01

She seems innocent – almost fragile. But behind this facade, something entirely different could be hiding... perhaps she's the greatest sinner of all. At the same time, you get the feeling: this world has been waiting for someone exactly like her.

Hatori-sensei, a high school teacher, grows increasingly uneasy. One of his students, Spica Tsumugi, doesn't seem to fit in – is she a victim of bullying, or is there more to it? While seeking advice from a colleague, he suddenly encounters her outside of school. And it quickly becomes clear: this girl knows things about him that she absolutely shouldn't. What begins as an everyday concern develops into an oppressive game of secrets, distrust, and underlying threat.

A dark mystery thriller manga full of suspense, psychological depth, and unexpected twists – perfect for fans of gripping stories that get under your skin. From the author of the acclaimed works The Killer Inside and A Suffocatingly Lonely Death!
