Synopsis:

Hajime Kindaichi finds himself consistently drawn into intricate mysteries, presented with puzzles that challenge even experienced investigators. The series follows the high school student as he navigates a series of unsettling crimes, each steeped in unique and often unsettling circumstances. From a murder linked to the strategic world of Go, to a haunting case involving a shadowy figure known as Rosenkreutz and an obsession with blue roses, Kindaichi’s investigations delve into the darker aspects of human nature. A chilling urban legend at a snowy ski resort provides another compelling backdrop for his deductive reasoning. The anime offers a thoughtful exploration of crime and deception, focusing on intellectual challenge and the unraveling of complex narratives rather than action-oriented spectacle.
