While Atsushi starves to death on a river bank, he prevents a rather eccentric man named Osamu Dazai from drowning. Dazai is a moody suicide bomber and supernatural detective. He was investigating the same tiger that terrorized the young man. Together with Dazai's partner Doppo Kunikida, they solve the puzzle, but their solution leaves Atsushi in a difficult situation.
