Synopsis: “In MPD-Psycho, volume 1, Yousuke Kobayashi – a seemingly innocent police detective – is pushed into a complex tempest of interconnected deviants and evil forces. With its absurd twists, sci-fi touches, and inventive torture scenes, you’ll be mesmerized by the plethora of odd conspiracies and case files found in Eiji Otsuka and Sho-U Tajima’s uncontrollable, urban horror show.”
MPD Psycho, (aka Multiple Personality Detective Psycho) follows in this first volume a key number of characters. Central to them is Yousuke Kobayashi, a detective who possesses several different personalities within himself. They are independent of each other and some more dangerous than others. When a serial killer murders his girlfriend, Kobayashi’s resulting vengeance (though committed by another of his personalities) has him thrown in jail. Years later, he’s out on parole and invited to join a private firm to make use of his uncanny criminal profiling abilities.
Hopefully there’ll be a cool accompanying picture (Edit: check! Well, semi-cool anyway) to that overenthuastic title but in the meantime:
Just a note to point out a few small changes around the website. I’m currently going through all my reviews and adding in links to Amazon.com purchase pages to go along with the Amazon.ca ones already present. A couple people had asked me about it so here you go! See, never hurts to ask ;) This is a bit of a project for me, with over 250+ pages to go through, but soon enough they’ll all be changed!
