In the future, magic is recognized as a legitimate part of the scientific community. The small number of people gifted with magical potential are trained and then placed into a special government agency as a magic enforcer.

If left alone, the Returner becomes consumed in this emotion and, eventually, it will physically manifest itself in the form of a dangerous monster. The true role of the magic enforcer is to eliminate that Bug. Nagumo Kento, codenamed Deep Searcher, is a seasoned magic enforcer whose role is "Searcher" in where he draws out the evil using his unique power. His brand new partner, Amagi Yoko, codenamed Evil Eater, is a rookie who recently graduated from the academy as a prodigy, even by magic user’s standards. Her job as "Debugger" is to use her power to dispose of the evil that Kento brings out and even the experienced members of the magic enforcers are shocked by Yoko’s power. Together, Kento and Yoko work against the seeds of evil to allow Returners to enjoy their second chance at life. (Source: MangaHelpers)

Hey, let's go to the “deepest part of the world” together! Rui Sajima, a high school student in Tokyo, felt vaguely uncomfortable at school and at home. The only place where she can calm her mind is a pedestrian bridge in the middle of the night. There, he meets Ryouma Unoki, who has transferred to the same school. When I talked with him, I felt strangely relieved of the suffocating feeling. Perhaps it was because he felt the same suffocation. “I want to see the deepest part of the world”, he said, and his words were easy to understand. If the two of them could stay together like this, the gray, boring world would not be so bad, he thought. But that all changed one day when Ryouma picked up a gun. “Hey, Ryouma, let's go look for the deepest part of the world together”. (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
