Ryuunosuke Akutagawa

Known throughout the First Higher School as an exceptionally gifted yet solitary prodigy, he approaches every situation with a calm, razor-sharp rationality that allows him to dissect the human nature lurking behind criminal cases. A devoted admirer of Natsume Soseki, he regularly gathers with literary companions such as Ishikawa Takuboku at the milk hall, where his conversations are punctuated by startling, incisive remarks. To him, real-world crimes are little more than novels waiting to be deconstructed.
