Behold, a great detective who thrills the world solving impossible cases in no time! His name? Keiichiro Nagumo. …But all of that was over a decade ago. Now he’s just your typical middle-aged dude. Nagumo is behind the times to the point that he doesn’t even know what a smartphone is. But out of the blue, he is confronted by a high school girl named Mashiro who shows up wanting to be his assistant. Witness the miracles a gender-gap detective duo can make!
Igarashi (Senryū Girl, Tune In to the Midnight Heart) launched the manga in Kadokawa‘s Dengeki Maoh magazine in April 2016. Kadokawa published the manga’s first volume in July 2016, and the 15th volume on August 27.
