Looks like the light novel series 'Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru'. (The Detective Is Already Dead) has a TV anime adaptation.

Plot Summary from MAL

Quote:

Kimizuka Kimihiko is a crisis-magnet. From getting caught up in a crime scene to accidentally witnessing a drug deal, trouble seems to find him around every corner. So it is no surprise when his rather mundane flight suddenly enters a state of emergency with a dire need of a detective onboard. Unfortunately, his attempt at avoiding trouble is foiled by a beautiful girl with silver hair who goes by the codename Siesta. Declaring herself a detective, she unceremoniously drags Kimizuka into the case as her assistant.

That incident spelled the beginning of an adventure around the globe that went beyond his wildest imagination. Putting their lives on the line, the two took down criminal organizations, prevented disasters, and saved thousands. But the curtain closed to their epic journey with Siesta's untimely death three years later.

Resolving to live an ordinary high school life this time, Kimizuka spends a year maintaining a low profile. However, as fate would have it, a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Siesta comes crashing into his life, threatening to throw his peaceful days into disarray.

It sounds like the girl might be the reincarnation of Siesta, or maybe they're sisters and just happen to share traits?

How old was the MC when he became an assistant? 3 years as an assistant, a year doing nothing... and he's only about to attend high school now?

I was wondering the same thing. I swear these stories will do anything to keep their characters high school age.

Because to the people that lives in East Asia, high school life is where they have freest time in their lives to do anything they want. College life is also the same, but specialty colleges priorise slightly more work I believe.

The light novel was licensed by Yen Press just yesterday.

Well its based on a light novel so it's most likely on the "cringe teen fic" level of perception and reality.

Japan loves their teen detectives :heh:.

Looks like the first visual is out

The female lead looks really cute...and we've got flowers, a white dress, a school uniform, a suitcase, and a bunny :twitch:?

She looks like Origami from Date a Live.

I can't believe I'm only realizing this now. Will she be as much of a pervert as Origami :heh:?

Let me guess, the detective isn't actually dead and was just pretending to make MC live a normal boring life :heh:

At the very least...the summary has my attention. So the guy already has gone on a series of wild adventures before the show ever begins and is going to...get dragged right back into it? So did the original girl even need to die then?

Presuming of course she did die. We could be looking at: reincarnation, a faked death, a sibling picking up where the deceased left off, etc.

Will check it out when it airs.

Premise looks interesting
