Bu kararından sonra kafasından vurulmuş bir çocuğu, belediye başkanına tercih eder. Bu kararı ona hastanedeki pozisyonuna, kariyerine, geleceğine ve nişanlısına mal olur. Tedavi ettiği çocuk bir süre sonra ortadan kaybolur. Bunu izleyen günlerde hastane müdürü ve Dr. Tenma'yı suçlayan bir kaç doktor öldürülür. Tenma, eski pozisyonuna getirilir ama bu, onu cinayetlerdeki bir numaralı şüpheli yapmaya yeter.

Korsanlar tarafından kaçırılmasının ardından öldüğü düşünülen başarılı bir Japon iş adamı, onu tutsak edenlere katılarak hayata yeni bir başlangıç yapar.

Sōten Kōro is a Japanese manga by manga artist King Gonta, adapted from an original story by Hagin Yi. It was serialized by Kodansha in the manga anthology magazine Weekly Morning from 1994 to 2005. After Hagin Yi died of cancer in September 1998, King Gonta picked up the story himself. A total of 409 chapters were published and compiled into 36 separate books. In 1998, it won the 22nd Kodansha Manga Award in the general category. There are no published English translations of it, but a color art compilation book released in 2007 has the English subtitle Beyond the Heavens on the cover, suggesting that it is the accepted English translation of the title. In addition, the last chapter of the series is also titled in English Beyond the Heavens. In Japan, Sōten Kōro was advertised by its publisher as "Neo-Sangokushi", which may be translated as "Neo Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In April 2009, the series was made into an anime series by Madhouse.
