A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Release Rating: 9/10

Synopsis:

When the wealthy patriarch of the Inugami dynasty dies, he leaves his fortune to Tamayo (Yoko Shimada, Shogun), a young woman from outside the family.

Detective Kosuke Kindaichi arrives to investigate the case and uncovers the secret history of the family’s bloodline.
