"Takato Case Files" is a spinoff first released on a now-defunct Mangabox app. with Yoichi Takato as the main character.

Yoichi Takato, being a gifted yet aloof student, is invited by his classmate to an "Invisible School Club" which turns out to be a "Magician Club" to loosen up. He reluctantly joins, but then gets tangled in a mystery when the club ace's head is found on display in a locked room.
----
!!Tropes include:
* ADayInTheLimelight: A story with the main antagonist as the main character? Yup!
* AlcoholicParent: Takato's father is never found without drinking or with a glass in this case.
* BrokenAce: Takato's already a mess even before he finds out his mother's disciples steal her trick book.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: The sentiment he gives when the culprit asks Takato what it feels like murdering someone for the first time.
-->'''Takato''': [[VisibleSilence ...]] Not really... any different than usual.
* FurnaceBodyDisposal: The culprit tries to burn the missing bodies on the school festival's fire tower until Takato directly confronts them, which doubles as FieryCoverup because the first victim's nails has the culprit's skin on it. Takato then finishes the job by burning the tower alongside the culprit's.
* DecapitationPresentation: All of the murders are shown with the victims' head on display on a table.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: One of the victims were killed because he foolishly confronts the killer... alone. Unarmed.
* JapaneseSchoolClub: The suspect list comes from the school's Magician Club.
* LockedRoomMystery: The first victim's head disappears into thin air from a locked room until it's found later later in the morning.
* NotTheFirstVictim: Tatako's stint at the Magic Express is not his first murder. This is where he first killed someone; the culprit of the case.
* ShutUpHannibal: Takato quickly calls out the culprit's narcissism after they were being full of themselves, saying that the crime they commit wasn't beautiful at all, the motive was simple and predictable, and they lose temper too easily to become a cold-blooded killer.
* SlasherSmile: It's not Takato without making this expression. This is why the detective handling this case immediately put a suspicion on him.
* StreetPerformer: Takato has been cultivating his StageMagician persona by performing magic tricks to kids in a park.
* TheSociopath: What motivates the culprit to kill. They view that their lives are boring so they want to befriend Takato whom they saw to have the same "quality," but they decide to kill the club president because they think she's making the stoic Takato go soft.
