TV · Finished · Spring 2025 · 12 episodes · 23 min

Rich heiress Reiko Hosho lives a double life as a novice detective, fighting crime under Inspector Kazamatsuri—also from a wealthy family. After work, Reiko sheds her pantsuit to don a lovely dress for dinner each day. Difficult cases force her to confide in her butler Kageyama, who proceeds to savagely ridicule her inability to solve mysteries, all while brilliantly unraveling each case himself.

Reviews

Captain Stupid, Miss Oblivious, and An Actual Detective

A potentially fun premise, but with a repetitive execution

A somewhat decent detective anime marred by an insufferable tw/t
