Created by Ryuhei Tamura | MoreLess about Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin

Boyle Samejima of the Shinjuku police department is a reckless loose cannon who thinks he’s in some sort of hard-boiled cop film or novel…or something. His erratic behavior gets him shipped off to the remote island of Anegashima near Okinawa. There, he soon comes to learn that this ocean paradise is anything but idyllic. The island is in the middle of a mass disappearance case involving a sea-worshipping cult, and their oracle—a feisty toddler said to have been raised by a dolphin—is in police custody. And Samejima’s new partner…is that dolphin!

Born on April 19, 1980, Ryuhei Tamura is best known for his series Beelzebub, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2009 to 2014 and inspired a 60-episode anime adaptation.
