* Loosely adapted from Sakaguchi Ango 's novel Meiji Kaika Ango Torimonochou . A full-fledged detective story about a detective and handsome boy combo who tackle the world’s most difficult crimes together for reasons of their own. The profession of private detective fell out of favor long ago, and yet, that’s how the young man, Yuuki Shinjuurou , identifies himself. With his superior deductive powers, Shinjuurou solves various challenging cases. Meanwhile, Inga , an attractive young lad, serves as Shinjuurou’s buddy . But contrary to his cute looks, he’s a sharp, arrogant rogue. Why Inga sticks with Shinjuurou is, as of yet, unknown. The setting of the story is a postwar, future Tokyo that still bears the scars of war. Ruling the land is Media King Kaishou Rinroku , who, through politics and industry, has the communications infrastructure under his thumb. Kaishou has used a clear head and the massive amount of information at his fingertips to lead to the solution of a great number of cases. But there’s an underside to Kaishou’s brilliant deduction work, which is that Yuuki Shinjuurou, the Last Great Detective , is the one who actually uncovered the truth in those cases. However, the public doesn’t know this and thus refers to Shinjuurou as the Defeated Detective . Still, Shinjuurou, together with Inga, can’t help but search for the truth. Note: The first episode received an early screening at a special event on 2 October 2011 at Fuji TV Multi Theater in Tokyo. The regular TV broadcast started on 14 October 2011.
