Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture, Vol. 2 (manga)

The mysterious lurks in that which fills the crevices between ordinary things—“The Extraordinary.” Akira Takatsuki, an associate professor of folklore studies and a collector of strange tales, has taken Naoya Fukamachi, a college student with the uncanny ability to detect lies, under his wing. When another of Professor Takatsuki’s students reveals that she is living through an urban legend—needles falling all around her and even appearing in her food—the mismatched duo is on the case! But then the professor stops their investigation in its tracks to invite Fukamachi to a barbecue? Is this just one of his eccentricities getting in the way of another, or is there some grand plan brewing…?
