## Plot

At the world's top detective training school, BLUE, there was once a genius with exceptional talent and a promising future. Ron Kamonohashi, who has been whispered to be a genius since the opening of BLUE, was expelled from BLUE and forbidden to be a "detective" because of a fatal "flaw" as a detective after an incident during his time at school.

Five years later. Ron is living a life of disappointment and boredom but when Detective Totomaru Isshiki of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Investigative Division visits him to ask for his cooperation in a serial murder case, Ron's stopped time begins to move again.

Knowing Ron's anguish, the "pure idiot" Totomaru Isshiki offers his kindness and support. Ron calls him "Toto," and when he senses the infinite possibilities of their investigation together, he appoints Toto as his partner. Ron solves the mystery and Toto works on the investigation.

The slightly wacky and uneven detective duo solve mysterious cases in spectacular fashion...!

Ron Kamonohashi was once regarded as a genius at the top detective training academy. But after a fatal mistake, he was expelled and forbidden to become a detective. Years later, police officer Totomaru Isshiki knocks on Ron's door seeking help on a serial murder case. He finds Ron, now a messy-haired recluse, who agrees. Together, this mismatched detective team begins solving their first mystery!
