Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture, Vol. 2 (Manga) - Paperback

The mysterious lurks in that which fills the crevices between ordinary things--"The Extraordinary." Akira Takatsuki, an associate professor of folklore studies and a collector of strange tales, has taken Naoya Fukamachi, a college student with the uncanny ability to detect lies, under his wing. When another of Professor Takatsuki's students reveals that she is living through an urban legend--needles falling all around her and even appearing in her food--the mismatched duo is on the case! But then the professor stops their investigation in its tracks to invite Fukamachi to a barbecue? Is this just one of his eccentricities getting in the way of another, or is there some grand plan brewing...?
