Series Synopsis
Aoi Mashiro (voiced by Miyu Tomita) has recently moved to Kyoto, but her time in her new city hasn’t been a happy one. Hurtful memories of her old life continue to linger in her heart. She feels there is no one she can rely on. That sentiment changes the day Aoi wanders into a quaint little antique shop.
Standing behind the counter is a handsome young man named Kiyotaka Yagashira (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa). Like magic, Kiyotaka instantly recognizes that Aoi is not doing well, and the two form a bond. To help, Kiyotaka offers Aoi a job at his store; a proposition Aoi gladly accepts.
After a few weeks, Aoi learns of Kiyotaka’s reputation as a highly skilled appraiser. In this line of work, an antique seller’s reputation can be ruined by fake items. However, no counterfeit can fool Kiyotaka’s trained eyes. In fact, Kiyotaka’s observational and deduction skills even rival a certain world-famous nineteenth-century British detective.
The similarities are so profound, Kiyotaka has gained the title as the Holmes of Kyoto.
