Orphan presents a new version of *Satsujin Kippu wa Heart-iro* (*The Murder Ticket Is Heart-Colored*), a 1990 mystery OVA based on a series of young adult novels for women by Yamaura Hiroyasu. It tells the story of high-school student Nagare Seiko's "vacation" (due to a suspension) in Nagasaki with her black-and-white cat, Gonbei. On the train from Tokyo, she encounters a handsome man who has supposedly been murdered.

She also encounters other strangers, some helpful, some mysterious, and gets mixed up in the affairs (and murders) of a prominent local family, the Totsugawas. The mystery isn't very deep, and there's more comedy that thrills, but it's a decent ride. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2024/03/satsujin-kippu-wa-heart-iro-v2.html) for more details.
New encode, ripped from a Japanese laserdisc on the Domesday Duplicator by WOWmd. Better definition, less frame blending. Opus audio, whatever that is. (I thought Opus was a penguin in *Bloom County*.)
This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
