Aboard the Sky Casino, Sigma of the "Decay of Angels" confronts Teruko of the Hunting Dogs! Lacking a combat-oriented Ability, Sigma uses every means at his disposal to back Teruko into a corner.

Inside Anne's room, Atsushi and his friends are searching for a chance to counterattack.

Meanwhile, as Tachihara continues to search the interior of the Sky Casino for evidence of terrorist activity, a certain piece of evidence comes to light...?!

The tactics of Dazai and Dostoyevsky set off fireworks across their chessboard in the sky!

Agents on the run, authorities in pursuit, an ordinary man with no combat Ability - desperate times call for desperate measures!

As Atsushi and Kyoka struggle on while continuing to believe in the "restoration of the Armed Detective Agency", they obtain information from a certain someone who had given them a warning earlier.

They then infiltrate the Sky Casino, a massive entertainment facility managed by Sigma, a member of the "Decay of Angels".

Meanwhile, Jono and the other Hunting Dogs finally catch up to the white tiger, and dispatch the infiltration specialist Tachihara and the fearsome Deputy commander Teruko to the Casino.

Elude the fangs of the Hunting Dogs and pursue the ray of hope!

Separated from their comrades, Atsushi and Kyoka visit their former foe, Fitzgerald, in order to use the "Eyes of God" to locate Mushitaro, their own lead.

Meanwhile, Yosano and her fellow fugitives learn the one of them has to transfer to the mafia, according to a deal between Fukuzawa and Mori.

Fitzgerald's agenda, the approaching Hunting Dogs, Yosano's history with Mori –

The past mercilessly looms as the trials of volume 16 unfold!

With the power of the "Book", the Armed Detective Agency has been branded as a vicious criminal organisation.

All means of escape are being cut off by the mercilessly approaching Hunting Dogs – the military's strongest special unit of Ability Users, led by Commander Fukuchi Ochi!

Up against the Hunting Dogs' enhanced bodies and overwhelming combat skills, can our stray dogs do nothing but be hunted down?

Everywhere, the righteous become the enemy... 

Mushitaro Oguri is the man suspected of being involved in both Dostoyevsky's orchestration of Kunikida's imprisonment, and the murder of a mystery author that has sparked public uproar.

Ranpo is forced to struggle like never before against insects manipulated by Mushitaro, who has the Ability to erase all evidence, "The Perfect Crime" - but meanwhile...!

Dazai is arrested, the mysterious organisation "The Decay of Angels" pulls strings behind the scenes, and high-ranking government officials are suddenly abducted...

As the deepening darkness closes in, the Armed Detective Agency faces a crisis that threatens its very survival! 

According to the information brought by Natsume who suddenly appeared together with Katai, Dostoyevsky has established his lair in the disused tunnels underneath Yokohama.

Under Dazai's direction, Atsushi and Akutagawa cooperate to carry out an infiltration...

But as the pair squabble, the Virus Ability user Pushkin and Dostoyevsky's servant Goncharov appear menacingly before them. Can Dostoyevsky really be brought down by just two people?

The "cannibalism" conflict is finally resolved!

Dostoyesvsky has infected both Fukuzawa and Mori with the virus ability, 'Cannibalism'.

To save the life of one, the other must be killed in the next 48 hours. Under the cruel condition, the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia engage in all-out conflict to protect their respective leaders.

As Atsushi and Kunikida struggle to prevent bloodshed, Dostoyevsky interferes as if to mock them. The battle lines are drawn; Kyoka vs. Akutagawa, Ranpo vs. Chuya—!

Is there no way out of this predicament other than to dance to the tune played by the scheming "Devil"...?!! 

Kyoka, now an official member of the Armed Detective Agency, is given a work request from an anonymous client. But while Kyoka and Atsushi are investigating, Montgomery gets in the way...!

A man thought dead re-appears, while Dostoyevsky finally bares his fangs at the Agency and the Mafia.

Slowly but surely, the man feared as the devil begins to devour the Yokohama underworld...

With the Guild War concluded, the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia are currently observing a temporary ceasefire.

Atsushi decides to undertake the investigation of a certain fatal traffic accident, while Kunikida becomes embroiled in a bombing incident that challenges his strict adherenceto his ideals.

While Kunikida's friend and former Agency member, a genteel young lady with black hair, the Port Mafia executives, and various people begin to move, the Russian "magician" Destoyevsky finally stands up silently...

Atsushi is trying to prevent the fall of Moby Dick that will destroy Yokohama, but his progress is blocked by Akutagawa, who has also boarded the white whale. Trapped in a three-way standoff with Fitzgerald, they quickly find themselves helpless against the immense power of the Guild leader's "The Great Fitzgerald" Ability. Despite their mutual hatred, Atsushi and Akutagawa improvise a strategy to foil the Guild, but...

The stormy Guild Arc finally reaches its conclusion!

To fight the guild, the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia must work together...

Following this proposal by Atsushi, a top-level conference is held between Fukuzawa and Mori.
However, as the talks naturally breaks down, Dazai infiltrates the enemy's base to retrieve Q.
Sure enough, Dazai is immediately set upon by Lovecraft and Steinbeck. Then, who should make a dashing entrance but... that man?!!

Dazai's wisdom, Ranpo's deduction, and Atsushi's courage will be put to the test!

His confidence sapped by Q's mental attacks, Atsushi is captured by the Guild with the combined power of Fitzgerald and Alcott's Abilities.

Now on the loose, Q targets a Guild Fellowcraft with a mysterious Ability – Lovecraft?!

Meanwhile, the Guild plots to turn Yokohama into a sea of fire!

To protect Yokohama, Atsushi must run like the wind! Everything changes in this action-packed volume 7!

The Port Mafia begins to move according to the strategy laid out by Mori Ogai.

The grievously wounded Akutagawa hunts down the cleric of the Guild, Hawthorne – but why has Ogai sent Nakahara Chuya on a solo mission to track down the base of the Armed Detective Agency...?!

Meanwhile, the team of Kunikida & Tanizaki initiates a frontal assault on the Guild, taking on the mind-blowing Abilities of Steinbeck and Lovecraft!

The tactical strategies of the 3 organisations collide head-on in this 6th volume!

Together with Nakajima Atsushi, Izumi Kyoka begins work as a new employee of the Armed Detective Agency. As the two of them are adjusting to their duties, Kyoka's former mentor in the Mafia - Ozaki Koyo - suddenly appears to take Kyoka back!

No longer able to avoid confrontation with the Mafia and the Guild, the Agency prepares to resist to the bitter end under Fukuzawa's orders.

The curtains rise on a pitched battle between three organisations of Ability Users!
