Written by Arata Miyatsuki and featuring the sharp, unsettling art of Yuya Kanzaki, Funouhan is a definitive psychological thriller that explores the concept of "perfect crimes." The series is world-renowned for its episodic structure, where each chapter serves as a dark morality play. It exposes the hidden sins of its characters, using the supernatural-adjacent power of suggestion to turn their own guilt and fear into a death sentence. It is a grim reflection on the nature of evil and the fragility of the human mind.

The story follows the path of Tadashi Usubuki, whose piercing red eyes and calm demeanor mask a terrifying ability to manipulate perception. He acts as a mirror to humanity’s worst impulses, fulfilling requests for revenge by driving targets to their own demise. Because there is no physical evidence and no direct cause-and-effect that a court can recognize, Usubuki remains a free man, a "legal impossibility." As the series progresses, the tension rises between Usubuki’s calculated chaos and the investigators desperate to find a way to hold a man accountable for crimes that, according to the law, never actually happened.
