About This Series
Kagamigami is an action-packed supernatural shonen manga created by Toshiaki Iwashiro, the acclaimed author of Psyren. The plot revolves around Mako Miyoshi, an ambitious yet struggling female detective who possesses a unique ability to see emotional memories attached to everyday items.

Together, Mako and Kyosuke form an unlikely investigative duo, blending traditional detective sleuthing with high-stakes magical combat. The series highlights Iwashiro's dynamic panel pacing, imaginative creature designs, and deep focus on thematic bonds between soul partners.
