Writer nigozyu and illustrator Umibouzu’s romantic comedy/mystery light novel series Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.—AKA Tanmoshi and known in English as The Detective is Already Dead—has an anime adaptation on the way this July. While we wait for the case to be cracked, a new visual is here to showcase idol singer Yui Saikawa front and center.
Here’s Yui, with lead character Kimihiko Kimitsuka in the background alongside classmate Nagisa Natsunagi.
A trailer from earlier this month:
Yen Press licensed the original The Detective is Already Dead light novel series and sums up the story:
“You will be my assistant.”
During a plane hijacking four years ago, Kimitsuka Kimihiko wound up becoming the assistant to a beautiful detective named Siesta. The pair traveled the world, solving crimes and battling criminal organizations. Until Siesta died, anyway. Kimitsuka thought that would spell the end of his adventures and a return to ordinary life, but an encounter with a girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to Siesta suggests that fate has other plans.
