K plot recap, spoiler-light
Yashiro Isana leads an ordinary life attending Ashinaka High School, situated on an island just outside the technologically advanced Shizume City. Known for being friendly, Yashiro is somewhat forgetful about his school-issued PDA, but otherwise appears entirely normal. However, his peaceful routine shatters following the brutal murder of Tatara Totsuka, a prominent and well-known member of the infamous Red clan, HOMRA.
Panic and suspicion immediately surround Yashiro because a man bearing an identical, uncanny appearance to him is captured as the responsible killer.
