#MangaMonday 73 “The Ship of Theseus” by Toshiya Higashimoto

Shin Tamura grew up haunted by the fact that his father, a former police officer, has been on death row for an elementary school massacre that happened just before he was born. His father has maintained his innocence, but his mother doesn’t doubt his guilt. When Shin visits the site of the incident in preparation for confronting his father, he’s engulfed in a white mist and finds himself back in 1989—several months before it took place.

This is a #mystery #manga with a time travel twist. Shin’s actions in the past alter it both directly and as people react to his actions; meaning the basic facts of the mystery can (and do) change. Furthermore, as he learns upon returning, those actions have consequences in the present and the intervening years.
