In the heart of Yokohama stands Dead Plate, a restaurant whispered about in rumors and urban legends. Customers enter seeking a meal, answers, or refuge… but not all of them leave. Atsushi Nakajima, a newly hired waiter, quickly realizes something is terribly wrong with the establishment. Strange disappearances, unsettling guests, and hidden rooms lurk behind every corner. As he digs deeper into the restaurant’s secrets, he finds himself constantly crossing paths with the cold and enigmatic head chef, Akutagawa Ryūnosuke. Akutagawa knows far more than he’s willing to admit, and every answer Atsushi uncovers only leads to more questions. Trapped within a web of mysteries, supernatural happenings, and dangerous truths, the two are forced to rely on one another despite their constant clashes. As the line between ally and enemy begins to blur, Atsushi and Akutagawa must decide whether to uncover the truth behind Dead Plate… or become part of its menu themselves.
