He senses the lingering thoughts of murder victims, and experiences the circumstances under which they died with his own body in a reaction similar to stigmata. This proves useful in solving difficult cases with the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigations Unit Six. Asako's partner is the reserved Superintendent Kuroiwa Hiroto, rising through the MPD ranks despite doubting his own abilities. Note: This volume was serialized in seinen magazine Grand Jump Premium. The manga has been revived as Stigmata: Aikon in BL magazine .Bloom.
