🧩 Plot Overview
Once a teenage detective prodigy, Keiichirō Nagumo is now a 35-year-old private investigator past his prime—cobbled with aches, obsolete tech know-how, and an empty schedule. His world turns upside-down when high-schooler Mashiro Nakanishi, a martial arts enthusiast with limitless gadgets hidden in her uniform, insists on becoming his assistant. Together, the mismatched duo revisits small-time cases—and maybe even the thrill of solving the impossible.
Expect a warm mix of quirky humor, amateur sleuthing, and a touch of detective nostalgia in this unlikely partnership.
