Plot

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".

Jiraishin: Ice Blade

Kyoya Ida is a hard-nosed detective from the Shinjuku Police precinct, known to use lethal force to solve cases whenever they need to be solved. He works in a bleak, gritty representation of Shinjuku alongside his partner Tsuyoshi Yamaki in hunting down suspects and arresting them before he was killed in the line of duty. Ida was later assigned to another partner named Eriko Aizawa, the two working together to solve cases pertaining to the city's interests.

Jirashin Diablo

In the year 2008, Ida was beginning to suffer from the effects of Keratoconus after leaving the police force. He later gets wind of mysterious deaths of an unknown plague that killed the villagers in Ishikawa Prefecture's Amakura Island when he meets up with Taichi Kogure, a detective of the Ishikawa Police precinct and a now grown up Aya Koike, who is a known information handler in the underworld.

Publication

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Written and illustrated by Tsutomu Takahashi, Jiraishin was serialized in Kodansha's Script error: No such module "lang". manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from September 25, 1992,[a] to November 25, 1999.[b][6][7] Kodansha collected its chapters in 19 Script error: No such module "lang". volumes, released from October 23, 1993,[2] to January 21, 2000.[4] The series was republished in a ten-volume Script error: No such module "lang". edition from May 9, 2003,[8] to September 12, 2003,[9] and in a ten-volume Script error: No such module "lang". edition from February 23, 2009,[10] to November 20, 2009.[11]

The North American version of the manga, retitled Ice Blade, was serialized in Tokyopop's MixxZine magazine,[12][13] but it was discontinued after three volumes.[14] There were instances of censorship in some of its panels as MixxZine was a new magazine when it was released and thus did not wish to offend potential distributors.[15]

Serdar Yegulalp of Advanced Media Network compares Jiraishin to Miami Vice as the "blood, grit, and sin spatter so thickly that it's a miracle you don't get your fingers dirty when you turn the pages".[26]

It was nominated for the 23rd Kodansha Manga Awards in the general category in 1999.[27]
