Hello guys!
I was hoping somebody could help me find a particular manga. I believe it should have the psychological and detective tags but I couldn't find it. It is a crime/mystery-solving manga revolving around a guy that, initially, writes erotic poem/literature (?) while watching his friend having sex with a prostitute (I think). After he leaves he meets a girl with whom he will solve mysteries (mostly she will). The next day the prostitute (?) is murdered and sometime later the two protagonists find that the culprit was another woman who lost an ear (?) and took the victim's face (I believe that the face was also rotting on the woman). The action should take place in the interwar period from what I remember as their clothes are rather historical. I also remember finding it on mangadex earlier this year but I completely forgot the name. I will be very grateful if somebody finds out the name,
Thank you very much!

The first part made me think of Oshigerinanshi - Rouchou Tanten no Yotogibanashi, but the part about a prostitute being killed doesn't match up. Maybe you'll enjoy it regardless? I hope you find the right one eventually.

I thought it was the visual novel Cartagra up to the part about the woman having lost her ear! (The killer in Cartagra had also lost a body part, but not an ear.)

Probably Ateya no Tsubaki.

Hey guys!

Thank you very much Intrinsic! Ateya no Tsubaki is the manga that I was looking for.

WavesWashSands, I am a really big fan of Innocent Grey's games and I'm eagerly awaiting Kara no Shoujo part 3!

Alimeru, thank you for the suggestion. I will read the manga you recommended.
