Description:

Henshin Interviewer no Yuuutsu follows Jiro Shirakawa, a genius mystery writer suffering from severe writer's block on his milestone 100th novel. Desperate for inspiration, the unattractive author uses his unique ability to transform into the handsome Aonuma Kiryu, a brilliant interviewer who can make anyone talk. To find a real case for his book, Aonuma and his beautiful editor, Kahiyama Rika, head to the isolated town of Keshinohara. They are there to investigate the Tulip Murders, a grotesque and unsolved case from 1999 involving the bizarre deaths of local housewives. As Aonuma uses his exceptional deduction skills to interview the suspicious townspeople, he uncovers a web of secrets. From a mysterious miracle spring and a power healer to forbidden affairs, embezzlement, and a massive cover-up, the truth behind this hermetic town is far more complex than they ever imagined.
