Riku Tanaka, a 16-year-old high schooler, is known for two things: his passion for baseball and his unmatched intellect. While most of his classmates see him as a natural-born ace pitcher, only a few close friends are aware of his true talent for solving puzzles, cracking codes, and deciphering the most complex of problems. A quiet genius, Riku’s mind thrives on physics, chemistry, and logic, but he has no interest in using these skills for anything other than his love for the game. However, Riku’s life takes an unexpected turn one fateful evening. After a long baseball practice, he stumbles upon a chilling crime scene in the heart of Tokyo. A gruesome murder has occurred, and the police, along with FBI agents, are baffled by the lack of evidence. Despite their best efforts, they can’t find any leads to solve the case. As the media frenzy intensifies, reporters press the head detective for answers. In a moment of inspiration, Riku, observing from the sidelines, casually interrupts and offers a chilling theory: “This isn’t just a murder. It’s a carefully planned message. And I know how to decode it.” The detective, initially skeptical, listens as Riku’s genius shines through. With unparalleled logic and a deep understanding of human psychology and science, he begins to unravel the mystery. His keen mind quickly identifies overlooked clues, and as he pieces together the puzzle, Riku uncovers a network of corruption, deception, and hidden motives far beyond what anyone could imagine. Riku’s involvement in the case grows, and soon, he’s solving murder mysteries, tracking down criminals, and outsmarting the most elusive perpetrators—all while keeping his identity as a high school student a secret. His love for baseball becomes a welcome distraction, but his passion for solving crimes starts to consume him. With his talent for deduction and a brilliant mind sharp enough to see through lies, Riku Tanaka becomes an unlikely detective, feared by criminals and admired by those who seek the truth. This manhwa focuses on a young genius navigating the world of crime-solving while balancing his school life, passion for baseball, and unraveling complex mysteries. With each case, Riku not only uncovers hidden truths but also grows as an individual, making it a compelling blend of mystery, intellect, and coming-of-age themes.

Then he arrived, a beacon of light in my endless night. His presence, his care—it’s more than I ever deserved. Yet, I find myself clinging to him with an intensity that borders on madness. I hate that I need him so desperately, that his every action and word have become my lifeline. It consumes me, a torment I can't escape. "You don't have to do this. Please, don’t do this. I’m nothing. You deserve better. Leave. Please," I beg, my voice trembling with raw anguish, the very words tearing me apart. He continues his work, seemingly unaffected by my pleas. "Why are you here? Look at me! I’m nothing." Desperation and anger swell within me, mixing into a maelstrom of anxiety. I can’t comprehend the emotions coursing through me.
