The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok Story and Art by: Sakura Kinoshita

Yes! We’re talking about Detective Loki Ragnarok! Loki runs a neighbourhood detective agency and spends his day solving the strangest of cases. Unknown to most of his friends though, Loki is none other than the legendary prankster god who had been banished to Earth… in the form of a young boy. But the work of an ex-god does not always run smoothly, as various other Norse creatures and Gods soon arrive on Earth to cause trouble for Loki and his friends… and perhaps the greatest mystery yet to be uncovered may be Loki himself! *Debut volume is currently scheduled to be out late October 2004!
