Synopsis:

In the bustling, historic district of Asakusa, an unsettling rumor takes hold: a ghostly presence has been sighted on the 12th floor of the Juunikai building. Takuboku Ishikawa, a pragmatic private detective struggling to maintain his family's livelihood, finds himself drawn into the mystery when a newspaper reports the alleged sighting. Partnered with his capable assistant, Kyosuke Kindaichi, Ishikawa navigates the building’s labyrinthine corridors and its inhabitants, seeking a rational explanation for the supernatural claims. The series unfolds as a slow-burn investigation, exploring themes of urban legends, familial responsibility, and the blurred lines between reality and perception within a richly detailed historical setting. It offers a contemplative atmosphere, prioritizing methodical deduction over high-octane action, inviting viewers to piece together the truth alongside the detectives.
