A rather morbid, sombre manga about two high school students, Kamiyama Itsuki and Morino Yoru, who have a peculiar interest in deaths and especially in murders that are committed near to them.

However, acting on their own sense of justice and in self-interest, the murderers are often able to escape with the murders that they have committed.
