Subtle Connection and Observations
dumsumdumfai23 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
There is a sublime calmness to this mystery series. And I'm afraid it's to conceal the pain that is behind the protagonist's background.

The stories and cases varies in category, severity, and of course location. But the flow from one to the next is as if the passing of time, naturally. And so are the observations. It's the key concept, the central theme here. The introduction case is unique in that the protagonist is trapped inside the police station. He needs to prove his innocence without going anywhere. And that's an attention grabber. So is the connection with the hospital cop, novel, and Leica. Or that little interlude and dialogue in the restaurant late at night.

The poignant moment comes later on with the girl named Leica. I usually detest love interest but this one developed with respect, understanding and little gesture and touches. Well done.

Exceptional mystery series
joncronin11 August 2023
Fans of Columbo, Pokerface, Knives Out etc will thoroughly enjoy watching this!

Exceptional in every way, with a series of overlapping mysteries. At the center is Totono Kuno, a curly haired, introverted college student who unwittingly gets involved in a series of murders. His keen attention to details, insights into human behavior, unorthodox thinking and inherent curiosity allows him to see what other don't, in a very compelling way.

Clever, charming, funny but also intense the series keeps drawing one into the mysteries, always keeping the viewer on their toes. Each episode overlaps with the next, adding to the refreshing take on the mystery genre.

Really hope there are more seasons to come.
