Action novel about doctors fighting a dangerous virus slated for September 15

Kadokawa began streaming a 30-second trailer for Keiichi Satou and Kenji Saito's Demental Man novel project on Tuesday. The trailer features music composed by Yoshihiro Ike (Tiger & Bunny, Rage of Bahamut: Genesis) and narration from Kenjiro Tsuda.

Satou (Tiger & Bunny, Asura, Karas, Rage of Bahamut Genesis, GANTZ:O director) is illustrating the novel and is credited with the original work, and Saito (Trinity Seven - The Seven Magicians manga creator, 101 no Hyakumonogatari light novel author) is writing the novel. The project's "Novel 0," titled Demental Man: Lloyd no Carte (Demental Man: Lloyd's Clinical Records), will ship in Japan on September 15.

The "mental dive action" novel's story centers on a horrible virus called Demental, which changes the appearance of humans based on the darkness that lurks in their hearts. The only cure for Demental is the "Demental Men," medical specialists who can exterminate Demental. In ancient times, Demental Men exorcised demons. Doctors Cillian Lloyd and Tokio Lloyd, although they have polar opposite personalities, are a team based in Dreadnought City (a provincial city in England) that fights against Demental.
