About the series
In Psychometrer Eiji (2001–2006), published by Dargaud, a young man with the psychic ability to read the history of objects through touch uses his power to solve crimes and uncover hidden truths. This 25-issue series blends supernatural detective work with gritty, character-driven storytelling, anchored by the compelling premise of a hero haunted by the memories he absorbs. The series is most associated with its creator, writer and artist Buichi Terasawa, who brought his signature cinematic style to the project. It stands as a distinctive, mid-2000s European manga-influenced thriller that explores the weight of perception and the secrets objects can hold.
