Synopsis:

Appearances can be deceiving. Hajime Kindaichi, seemingly a typical high school student with a disheveled style, harbors a sharp intellect inherited from his renowned detective grandfather. Alongside his steadfast friend Miyuki Nanase and the enigmatic Inspector Isamu Kenmochi, Hajime investigates complex cases that often lead them to isolated locales – remote islands, unsettling towns, and perilous seas. The series follows their pursuit of truth in the face of intricate puzzles and disturbing circumstances. Rather than action-oriented thrills, the anime emphasizes deduction and psychological exploration as Hajime unravels challenging mysteries. It offers a contemplative experience, focusing on character dynamics and the methodical process of uncovering hidden realities, set against a backdrop of atmospheric and often unsettling environments.
