Synopsis :
Taji works for a cleaning company that specializes in decomposing corpses. The maccabees discovered late leave unbearable traces for ordinary mortals, but he has his heart well hooked. He has known death since childhood. He saw his mother's body swinging at the end of a rope. The trauma of this suicide is ingrained in him, and every cleansing is a catharsis.
His daily life is turned upside down when his neighborhood becomes the scene of serial murders. The victims are cut into pieces, then lined up to form a word, the same one each time: "END". Taji is in charge of cleaning up the latest crime scene. The case takes a personal turn for him when he discovers that his boss, a real father figure, may be involved in these morbid stagings…
Pre-published since 2017 in Shueisha's Shonen Jump+, Route End is the first full-length series for its author NAKAGAWA Kaiji. Young shoot in which his publishing house puts a lot, this author has already won 4 Kodansha prizes in various competitions. Specializing in dark and violent stories, he gives us a work close to the film Seven, where a civilian embarks on the chase of a serial-killer who disturbs his neighborhood. A powerful thriller that is reminiscent of Tetsuya Tsutsui's trait in his graphic approach.
You will be able to immerse yourself in this investigation from June 7, 2018, the French release date of this new series.
