Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Set in the early Showa era, Soma Iwai (Oji Suzuka) is a private detective and he runs his own detective agency. He is skillful with reasoning and bluffing, but he is downing in debt. He can't even pay his rent and he often eats free meals at a small restaurant everyday. One day, he happens to meet Kanoko Urabe (Honoka Matsumoto), who has a special ability to detect lies. Kanoko Urabe left her home village due to the people not feeling comfortable with her having the special ability. She collapses on the street due to hunger and she is saved by Soma Iwai. He tells her that her special ability is wonderfully useful and she can make a lot of money with it. He then hires her as his assistant.

Comments

Ja Apr 03 2025 8:26 am Honoka Matsumoto is excellent as the quirky, awkward centerpiece of this friendly series.

felix Jan 27 2025 11:14 am Absolutely Loved this from start to finish; in fact I put off watching the final episode for a week because I knew there would be no more and I was going to miss all the characters. And it ended so well, wonderful final scene. Excellent production, direction, acting, and good plots too. High-class television!
