Silas Vance just wants to read his manga, eat convenience store bentos, and make it to 5:00 PM. Running a cheap, cash-strapped detective agency in a neon-lit Tokyo isn't glamorous, but it pays for rent. That is, until the entire world flips upside down. Suddenly, normal citizens are replaced by grotesque entities, head-less news anchors talk out of their rear ends, and Silas’s office sign mysteriously changes to read: Detective for Hire & Spirit Exorcist. Trapped in a bizarre, twisted time loop filled with surreal entities, Silas quickly realizes traditional rules don't apply. He has no magic spells, no sacred relics, and zero interest in being a hero. His primary exorcism tools? A phone search on "how to make a talisman in 10 minutes", a absolute refusal to be bothered, and hands rated E for everyone. Follow a deeply cynical, mask-wearing detective as he navigates a dark, chaotic, and absurd supernatural world—one hilarious beatdown at a time. What to expect: Dark Comedy & Surreal Horror Cynical, Pragmatic Protagonist Time Loop Mysteries & Supernatural Cases Fast-Paced Action & Ridiculous Situations
