The anime is based on a novel series by Honobu Yonezawa, known for the Hyouka series, published by Tokyo Sogensha. Manga adaptations of the first two novels were serialized in Monthly GFantasy magazine. The first manga (Shunki Gentei Ichigo Tart Jiken) featured art by Anko Manjuya while OmiOmI illustrated the second (Kaki Gentei Tropical Parfait Jiken). These two novels were also adapted in the first season of the TV anime.
The series’ official website describes the plot as follows:
“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?
