Manga for Finding a Murderer

Nearly a year ago, a young man who moved to Kyoto to attend a manga-creating course at a university there was stabbed to death while bicycling to his apartment. Now, in an effort to elicit information about the killer from the public, his classmates have produced a manga story about the victim. Half of the story depicts the deceased student's life. The other half (drawn with an eerie half-tone fog background) depicts what is known about his death.

Can a comic catch a killer? We'll see.
