Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of neon-drenched Kabukichou in Shinjuku, the story follows John H. Watson as he seeks the aid of Sherlock Holmes, a renowned detective operating within the city's hidden underworld. Watson’s initial request for assistance with an unusual matter leads him to the Pipe Cat, a clandestine hub connecting Shinjuku's most skilled investigators. Drawn into a perplexing case mirroring the infamous Jack the Ripper murders, Watson witnesses firsthand Holmes' exceptional deductive abilities and increasingly unconventional methods.

As Watson becomes deeply involved in these investigations, he confronts the darker aspects of Kabukichou’s vibrant facade. The line between ordinary life and extraordinary deduction blurs, prompting him to question the nature of truth and the complexities surrounding his own personal inquiry. The series explores themes of perception, societal shadows, and the cost of pursuing knowledge.
