"Future Diary" Creator Pens Edogawa Ranpo Tribute

The latest tribute to his work comes from Future Diary creator Sakae Esuno — a manga series in Shonen Ace titled Detective Akechi is Berserk.

20th century Japanese mystery writer Edogawa Ranpo forever changed the state of the mystery genre in Japan (appropriate, given his pen name is a Japanese rendering of “Edgar Allan Poe”).

The first installment of the manga features in the May edition of Shonen Ace, which hit newsstands on March 25.
