After exchange student Kazuya Kujo encounters the strange gothic genius Victorique, Inspector Grevil de Blois comes to her for advice on the murder of a local fortune-teller. Soon the two students embark on an unexpected journey to solve the case.

When Kujo, Victorique, and the other guests are drugged at dinner, they begin to suspect someone seeks revenge for the tragic events of ten years earlier aboard the same mysterious ship, The Queen Berry. Then, one by one, the guests begin to die.

Kujo throws himself in harm’s way to save Victorique from a killer. At police headquarters, Victorique brilliantly reveals the true mastermind behind the harrowing events aboard the haunting ship, as well as the dark reasons behind the original tragedy.

When Kujo sees a motorcyclist decapitated, Victorique must prove his innocence. Later, Kujo and the beautiful new exchange student from England, Avril, uncover an eight-year-old murder in the academy crypt.

The Phantom Thief Kuiaran returns after an eight-year absence. Kujo is knocked out as he investigates the strange sounds emanating from the haunted storehouse. And, as usual, Victorique must put the pieces together before anyone else gets hurt.

Kujo follows along as Victorique responds to an odd summons to the descendants of the Gray Wolves. As they travel to a village in the mountains, Victorique relates the tale of her mother, Cordelia Gallo, and the criminal accusations leveled against her.

As Victorique attempts to clear her mother’s name and track down clues to the real murderer of the village elder, suspicious accidents begin to claim the lives of the other visitors.

In true genius form, Victorique reveals the other visitors’ criminal intentions. Kujo aids Victorique in a ruse to draw a confession from the murderer of elder Theodore while the bond of Kujo’s and Victorique’s friendship is strengthened.

On a shopping trip to the capital, Kujo accidentally stumbles into an apparent criminal operation at the Jeantan department store that involves a terrified girl in the basement. But when he returns with Inspector Grevil, nothing is as he remembers it.

Upon hearing the escaped girl’s story, Kujo, with the help of a clever street urchin, convinces the police of the criminal activity within the Jeantan department store. With the aid of Victorique’s insight, Kujo and the police uncover a terrible secret.

When the love of Inspector Grevil’s life, Jacqueline, visits the academy, Victorique tells a tale of the past in which she helped Grevil save Jacqueline from an accusation of murder—and demanded something from him in return.

When Avril invites Kujo to spend summer vacation with her in the Mediterranean, he chooses instead to spend it with Victorique at the academy. While he climbs trees and dreams of his childhood, Victorique trades riddles with Kujo’s bright brother.
