Polarity - Delirium

Polarity - Delirium

In the quiet coastal town of Setsucho, Detective Kuyu Watanabe's mundane life of solving petty crimes is shattered when six bodies mysteriously appear on the beach. As he investigates alongside ambitious reporter Harumi Hoshino, young clinic worker Rina Tabatake, and troubled student Kaede, they discover a supernatural force lurking beneath the town's peaceful façade.

When the group encounters otherworldly creatures known as Reflections, they awaken to powers they never knew they possessed - the ability to summon Animas, powerful manifestations of their inner selves. Guided by a mysterious entity known as M and traversing between realities on the enigmatic Somnus Line, they must unravel a web of dark secrets connecting present-day murders to past tragedies.

As the investigation deepens, they find themselves drawn into a world where mirrors serve as gateways to nightmare realms, where personal demons take physical form, and where redemption comes at a terrible price. The group must confront not only the supernatural threats but also their own haunted pasts as they race to prevent more deaths in their community.

Set against the backdrop of cherry blossoms and seaside sunsets, "Polarity" weaves together elements of Japanese urban fantasy, supernatural horror, and noir detective fiction into a compelling tale of mystery, guilt, and the bonds forged in darkness. This gripping novel explores themes of redemption, justice, and the price of power while asking what truly separates reality from reflection.
