Decoration Disorder Disconnection is a mystery novel written by Nasu Kinoko and published irregularly in Faust magazine.
Story[]
Setting[]
Abnormal Agonist Syndrome, commonly known as "demonic possession," is widespread in Japan. Patients suffering from the syndrome have a malfunction in their neurotransmitters that causes the acquisition of new body parts and supernatural powers. These "A-Syndrome" patients are unnaturally concentrated in Shikura city.
According to Character Material, DDD has no connection with Tsukihime or Fate, but the basic design of Arika Ishizue is the same as Avenger. Although Meruka Kuramitsu from Kara no Kyoukai seemingly appears in the story, this was simply included by Nasu to make readers of both to do a double-take while reading.[1] In universe, Meruka Kuramitsu is a pseudonym.
Plot[]
Arika Ishizue lost his left arm in an A-syndrome related accident and was hospitalized. After he left the hospital and went back to Shikura, he met a beautiful boy named Kaie Karyou missing all four of his limbs and who lived in a dark basement. The boy asked him to exorcise the "Demons" possessing A-Syndrome patients. Arika became involved in these bizarre cases and in combatting the "Demons".
Setting[]
Shikura City is where DDD takes place. It is located in western Japan and has a population of 150,000 people. More than half of town is made up of fields and mountains. No matter how much money gets invested in the station front, it’s still a town out in the country, two hours away by commuter express from the urban center.
