Those new m&c! manhwa? They're movie tie-ins with South Korean and Japanese film co-productions. And the latest Shiraishi Yuki shoujo manga? Contains one of my all-time fave one-shots, Colorful Shounen to Monochrome na Atashi. (Check back later for deets because this is only a Shopping List version for nau.)

Yakumo and Detective Gotou probe into the case of Makoto, the police chief's daughter possessed by a spirit. They learn that their possession case is linked to the recent spate of serial kidnap-and-murder of school girls.

Exactly, how? The answer lies in the continuation of File 2: The One to Connect a Soul—Parts 2 to 5—collated in Psychic Detective Yakumo: The Alternate Story volume 2.
