Synopsis:
This OVA centers on detective Katayama Yoshitaro, a man more accustomed to quiet domesticity with his sister Harumi and their perceptive feline companion, Holmes. When a celebratory gathering following Harumi's theater performance takes a dark turn, Yoshitaro finds himself investigating a series of unsettling events culminating in a murder. The narrative unfolds within the intimate setting of the troupe's after-party, gradually revealing hidden tensions and secrets among the cast and crew. Holmes’ unusual abilities prove invaluable as Yoshitaro navigates a labyrinth of suspicious characters and cryptic clues. The story explores themes of deception, familial bonds, and the unexpected ways truth can emerge from seemingly ordinary circumstances, offering a subtly suspenseful and character-driven experience.

I Decided to review this since no one else has. I really enjoyed the whole thing but I should say that I have a lot of bias. Spooky mysteries with fun characters are right up my alley which meant this OVA ticked all the right boxes for me. The story is relatively simple so the viewer can probably figure out the mystery but the characters were all engaging with great chemistry. The character acting is expressive with each character having their own quirks. The dialogue was natural and sells you on the characters relationships. The character designs are really nice especially with that 90's animeascetic. I'm kinda sad that there isn't more of this anime, I know there are books an live action adaptations but obviously that's not the same experience.nnIf A fun Spooky Mystery with likeable characters and good art sounds like your thing then check this one out.
