Babylon

Zen Seizaki, a conscientious public prosecutor of the Tokyo Area Public Prosecutors Office, works in Tokyo's brand-new Shiniki district. Assigned to a case involving deceptive advertising, Zen looks into Japan Supiri, a pharmaceutical business that offered faked clinical studies on the company's new medicine, together with his associate officer, Atsuhiko Fumio. Zen discovers a page covered in a mixture of blood, hair, and skin while looking through the file of Shin Inaba, an anesthesiologist linked to the crime. The document also has the letter "F" scrawled all over it. The case grows increasingly complex as Zen looks into it, exceeding his expectations and testing both his sense of fairness and his grasp of the facts. As the inquiry continues, Zen finds connections to numerous people of interest participating in the race and those who are closer than he realizes, as well as a covert conspiracy behind the current mayoral election. As the case worsens, Zen is forced into an unanticipated hurricane of fraud and corruption surrounding the election, the creation of the Shiniki district, and the enigmatic woman connected to it all.
