One would be logical about this and say that ghosts aren’t real, it’s just in their heads. Once an idol, tragedy struck her, and she died from steel beams falling onto her. From what the witnesses claim, she’s a ghost with no face who carries a huge steel beam around and causes a bit of chaos in the city. As a police officer, her job is to help maintain peace in the city, and now there’s someone, or rather, something that catches her eye. Here we have a long time skip, and we are introduced to a new character, Saki Yumihara, who is actually Kurou’s ex-girlfriend. Once we learn about the “truth” of the matter from the previous case, we go on into the next arc, which comprises all of the next episodes, from 4 to 12. You can say that every “wrong” solution brings us closer to the “right” solution. So she takes what seems right from the previous solution, or the basic elements, then adds it to a more logical one, until she arrives at the “right answer”. Any solution may seem real to an extent, but as long as there are holes to it, it will all crumble apart. So instead of going for the truth at the get-go, Kotoko builds up blocks of possibilities of what could have happened to land to the truth that seems the most logical. In a world where spirits and youkai inhabit the earth, almost anything can happen, so logically finding out the truth will be tough. One would normally think that they would search for the evidence first then find the truth, but here they already have all the evidence they need, so now all they need is to figure out what happened. In addition, they have a funny relationship with each other right off the bat when they meet each other.Įpisodes 2 and 3 then shows us how the Mystery in this anime works. At first, you’d have no idea that the anime is Supernatural if you haven’t heard about it before, but as the episode goes on you’d realize that they are indeed youkai in the world, and the two characters have more to themselves that meets the eye. us to these two characters, and shows us a bit of their backstories together. The two of them band together (or you can say Kotoko clings on to Kurou) and they try to solve the worries and concerns of the youkai around them. One of which is a “goddess of wisdom” for the youkai who live in the world, and the other is a seemingly plain human who is not what he seems. The story is about two characters, Kotoko Iwanaga and Kurou Sakuragawa. Instead, Kyokou Suiri uses all the evidence and logic it has to create a lie. Usually, in the mystery genre, they use all the evidence and logic they have to search for the truth. As is the case for any supernatural problem, Kotoko and her partner set out to stop this spirit from wreaking havoc-but this case may prove to be far more sinister and personal than they could have ever thought. However, months later, sightings begin to tell of a faceless woman who wields a steel beam. Two years later, news of an idol who was accidentally crushed to death by steel beams flooded the press.

Kotoko harbors feelings for him and suspects that something supernatural lurks within his harmless appearance, so she asks Kurou for his assistance in helping out youkai. Ever since she agreed to become their "God of Wisdom," Kotoko Iwanaga has served as a mediator between the two realms, resolving any supernatural problems that come her way.Īt a local hospital, Kotoko approaches Kurou Sakuragawa, a university student whose long-term relationship ended with an unfortunate breakup. While most are benign, a certain subset threatens the tenuous peace between youkai and humanity. Hidden in plain sight, spirits known as youkai inhabit the world.
