Polka scrambles to get his bearings while facing off against his would-be killer's colleagues. Is this the prelude to a new fight for survival or the start of an unlikely friendship?
Polka is settling into his new life when a man arrives begging Misaki to save him from gangsters. Polka sends her with him, but the job isn't what it seems. Meanwhile, other factions in Shinjuku investigate Polka's role in the fire.
Polka's recent activities have caught the eye of a police unit dedicated to hunting down seemingly superhuman offenders. To a peace-seeking necromancer, these cops could be worse trouble than the criminals he's fallen in with.
Just when he thought the cops were bad enough, Polka comes face to face with Lemmings, Shinjuku's most legendary criminal. Will Polka reveal his necromancy to save his new friends?
Keeping his promise to a ghost, Polka returns to his family's mansion with Misaki in tow. Can the necromancer fool the people who know the real Polka best?

Polka is about to resume business as usual when he gets two unexpected house guests: his niece Sayo and her bodyguard. Do the pair just need a place to crash, or is something more sinister at play? And Inspector Iwanome is still on Polka's track.
Inspector Iwanome pressures Polka into reading his fortune. What does the inspector hope to gain, and what will he do when the reading dredges up secrets from his past? Meanwhile, the date of the Phantom Solitaire's "performance" is fast approaching.
Solitaire fills the skies of Shinjuku with blimps - all marked with the emblem of the Corpse God's home country. What is a symbol from another world doing in modern Japan, and who will take the magician's bait?
While everyone scrambles to discover the secret of the emblem, Polka receives an unexpected visitor. The modern world's most dangerous individuals are starting to realize that the fortune teller is more than he appears.
Amidst criminals, cops, and assassins gathering at his location, the Corpse God finally decides to take action. To protect his new home, the necromancer pushes his limits, attracting fresh attention in a world without magic.
