The Kindaichi Case Files Volume 4: Smoke and Mirrors Graphic Novel

Introduction: Hajime Kindaichi is a teenaged crime solver who's part Sherlock Holmes, part Encyclopedia Brown, part Scooby Doo.
Kindaichi (frequently with best-bud, Miyuki) travels to various places where a murder has taken place, typically involving ghosts, curses, myths and folklore of significant events from the distant past, and solves the mystery using ingenious deductions of curious clues and his cool magic.

This Volume's Story: Nobody at Hajime Kindaichi's school takes him seriously. After all, whenever he does bother to show up for class he usually just falls asleep. What they do take seriously are the recent ghost sightings around campus and the threatening letters from someone calling himself the 'Afterschool Magician.' Who is this Afterschool Magician, and what is he after? A few members of the school's Mystery Club tried to find out, and they turned up dead. Luckily for Kindaichi, he's an accomplished magician in his own right, but if he's going to crack this case he'll need to rely on every trick in the book.
