| Created by Type-Moon founders Nasu Kinoko and illustrator Takeuchi Takashi, The Garden of Sinners (a.k.a. Kara no Kyoukai) started out in 1998 as an internet light novel. The supernatural fantasy attracted a huge online following and eventually made it to print form, selling over 500,000 copies. Set in the same world as Type-Moon's Tsukihime, The Garden of Sinners revolves around the investigation of paranormal incidents by the trio of sorceress and detective agency proprietor Aozaki Tohko, her assistant Kokuto Mikiya, and Ryogi Shiki, a detached teenage girl with the ability to see and kill death.
Starting in 2007, The Garden of Sinners began its life on the big screen as a seven-chapter animated film series with animation by ufotable, the studio behind the Tales of Symphonia OVA. Directed by Nonaka Takuya, the second chapter, Satsujin Kosatsu ("Murder Speculation"), was released on December 29, 2007, soon after Fukan Fukei. Satsujin Kosatsu sheds light on the back story of Shiki and Mikiya's unlikely friendship as well as Shiki's unique background. As a member of the Ryogi family, Shiki is not only trained in martial arts, she inherits special abilities and split personalities, one male and the other female. As a series of murders strikes her hometown, Shiki begins to suspect that her aggressive male personality is the perpetrator.
