Call of the Night Vol. 9 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The Mokudai Kyoko arc reaches its climax. Mokudai-senpai had sworn to live at Nazuna's side, but on the very night of that resolve she is swallowed by the cruel fate of an accident. The promise — "will I be able to come see you?" — goes unfulfilled as morning breaks over their time together. It's revealed that this loss lies at the root of Nazuna's refusal to make kin, throwing the weight of her kindness into sharp relief. And the instant the flashback ends, a new threat calling herself a detective appears before Kou and the others, hurtling the story toward the Halloween showdown.
