Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective

It is a Japanese manga series written & illustrated by Akira Amano. The anime TV series started on 2 Oct, 2023.

It focuses on the adventures of Ron Kamonohashi, an eccentric private detective & Tomomaru Isshiki, an unskilled police officer, as they solve crimes together. Five years earlier, Ron was the top student of the Detective Training Academy Blue. But due to an unfortunate incident his detective license was revoked & he was expelled.

Unable to fulfill his only love of solving mysteries, Ron has lived in isolation since. When Totomaru seeks his help to solve a case, the two form a partnership where Totomaru takes the credit for the cases that Ron solves.

In the first episode, Ron takes a look at Toto & deduces that he has been to the shrine from the pollens on his shirt sleeve. Or that his obedience is owing to be brought up by grandparents. It was a ‘Sherlock’ moment for us!

In June 2021, the series was nominated for the seventh Next Manga awards in the Best Web manga category & placed 14th out of 50 nominees.

Aizawa called the series an ‘authentic mystery manga for the new era’ & praised it’s fast pace , as well as the tricks & logic used to identify the culprits.

Interesting.
