Synopsis

"Let's help each other and aim to become perfect ordinary citizens."

Kobato, who once had a bitter experience through deduction activities known as "wisdom work," was determined to become an honest and humble citizen. He secretly formed a reciprocal relationship with his classmate, Osanai, who shared the same aspiration, planning to make their high school debut as ordinary citizens and lead peaceful days. However, for some reason, mysterious incidents and misfortunes keep coming one after another into their school lives. Will Kobato and Osanai be able to achieve peaceful days as ordinary citizens?

Preliminary (3/10 eps)
I was never planning to write a review for this series, and at the very least not until it had finished. I don't understand the critism being thrown at Shoushimin Series; it's unique, has fantastic characters and can convey exactly what it needs to in the span of an episode.

I write this at episode 3, with the fourth being delayed by a week. As of now, I can confidently say that the 2 main characters are good.

More SoL-tinged nothing burger "mysteries" with a latent sort of quirky but not really committed sulky romance that may not exist at all from the creator of Hyouka. This feels about as formal as a 1940s drama but more naturalistic and with a girl always dragging the guys around to eat sweets, like a corrupted CGDCT anime with muted colors and pacing issues that would make even those who like to watch grass grow get antsy.

Visually, it's decent enough but resembles a hipster neo-noir with a 21:9 cinematic aspect ratio, and you'll have to get used to the blandly muted colors. The ED's composited ...
