“Impossible? I can’t let that pass without comment.” The genius physicist is back, tackling difficult mysteries involving bizarre phenomenon by applying the rules of physics to test them.
Yukawa is an associate professor in the physics department at Teito University. He’s good-looking, brilliant, athletic, and enjoys overwhelming popularity with his female students, but since he shows no interest in anything outside of academics, he’s called “the eccentric Galileo.” Currently, Yukawa’s partner, Kaoru, pays him a visit to introduce rookie detective Misa. She also relates the details of a current case that happened in a multi-tenant building. The disciple of a new religious organization fell to his death from the fifth floor. The apparent cause of death is psychokinetic power wielded by the leader of the group.
The original work is the Galileo series by Keigo Higashino, of which more than 9,500,000 copies have been published. The first series of the TV drama adaptation aired in 2007. Six years later, the curtain rises on the long-awaited new series.
