The premise hooks you instantly: Sakuya dies in every case, then wakes up next to Lilithea to solve it anyway. Each death isn't a reset button or a cheap trick, it's the actual investigation, the thing that forces him to see what he missed the first time. The show treats dying repeatedly as a detective method, not a gimmick, which means every corpse in the room might as well be his own.
Sakuya Otsuki has big shoes to fill. His father was a legendary detective, and Sakuya is determined to prove himself capable of the same deductive brilliance. He's got the skills, the sharp mind, and a loyal assistant named Lilithea backing his every move. There's just one problem: no matter where an investigation takes him, Sakuya ends up dead before the case closes. A luxury cruise ship becomes his latest assignment, and predictably, it also becomes his tomb. But death isn't the end here. Each time Sakuya's eyes open again, Lilithea is waiting with answers and the same knowing patience she's developed through countless resurrections. Together, they navigate impossible crime scenes where the detective himself is always the victim, unraveling supernatural mysteries that blur the line between murder and something far stranger. Sakuya must solve these cases while grappling with why he keeps dying, and whether Lilithea knows more than she's saying.
