A steampunk mystery from the creator of Silent Mobius! In this tale of an alternate past or future, set in the age of steam, masked dandies, evil masterminds, and sentient machines roam a Japanese Gotham by night. Can the sharp wits and quick reflexes of young detective Narutaki and beautiful nurse Ling Ling solve the mysteries and defeat the forces of evil in this strange world? All steamed up... When Narutaki meets Ling Ling, a beautiful nurse hiding a dark secret, he not only gains a true-blue friend but also two new assistants. He will certainly need all the help he can get when facing off against nefarious villains like the Phantom Knight, the Machine Baron, and Dr. Guilty!

Steam Detectives was published in English by VIZ Media, first appearing in the monthly anthology magazine Manga Vizion from October 1997 until the final issue in August 1998. It was later released in standard tankoubon format from February 5, 1999, to June 16, 2004.

    I fucking hate this ending. It's basically telling you to keel over to the racists who were trying to genocide your entire race because obviously giving them the same medicine is considered wrong. Such a dumb conclusion.
