Synopsis

1916 Tokyo: cheerful Hanamori and unappealing Shirakiku solve fairytale-like mysteries in Taishou Noir detective story.

In 1916, in Fukagawa-ku, Tokyo, there was a cheerful young man, Keisuke Hanamori, and Yoshifumi Shirakiku, who had an unappealing beauty. Hanamori, who is working as a part-time worker at the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, is taken to the Director General of the Horticultural Research Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. So he was told about a fairytale-like incident... It is a Taishou Noir detective story made by two diametrically opposite men. (Source: Comic Natalie, translated)
