The File of Young Kindaichi

Hajime Kindaichi may look like a sloppy, laid-back high schooler, but appearances are deceiving. As the grandson of a detective once regarded as Japan’s greatest, Hajime has inherited a sharp mind—and proves himself a formidable investigator in his own right.

Alongside his close friend Miyuki Nanase and the unconventional Inspector Isamu Kenmochi, Hajime finds himself drawn into cases far from the ordinary. From isolated islands to foreboding towns and treacherous waters, he pursues the truth behind intricate, punishing mysteries that test both his reasoning and resolve.
