Why this must be read:

Nearly everyone gets a chance to do something exciting in this action-filled AU story. Set shortly after the King of Swords arc, we find Tatsumi, Watari, Hisoka, and Tsuzuki embroiled in a mystery. Shinigami are being attacked right in Meifu - Watari has a potions accident - Tatsumi is unusually thoughtful - Tsuzuki eats cake (nothing unusual there) - and Hisoka finds himself ... in a box. By turns amusing and suspenseful, the story kept my attention all the way to the end. Longtime fans may find it predictable, and some may quibble a characterization choice here or there, but the pacing is good, and it's nicely constructed.
