The upcoming release of Divine Incursions, a detective-style mystery series by Kouya Ashitaka, promises to deliver a supernatural thriller experience reminiscent of the X-Files. Set in a world filled with bizarre occurrences, the narrative explores the implications of divine beings through chilling phenomena, including giant body parts falling from the sky.
Within this unsettling environment, two investigators, Katagishi and Miyaki, navigate the eerie landscape, facing extraordinary cases. Katagishi, characterized by his exhaustion and chain-smoking habit, contrasts with the enthusiastic and bright Miyaki, creating a dynamic reminiscent of classic investigative duos.
As they travel through small towns, their investigations reveal unsettling mysteries, such as disappearing organs and a village’s claims of immortality linked to cannibalism of a mermaid. This series, based on Oumi Kifuru's light novels, stands out in a genre that has maintained popularity in the animanga scene, even as Western sci-fi experiences a resurgence.
