First episode is up on Crunchyroll.
I noticed the series' genre is labeled as 'mystery' on MAL but this felt like a slice of life/shoujo. Holmes seems like a pretty cool guy though and has a clever mind. This has my attention so far. Hopefully we'll get more characterization on Aoi too for rest of the season. The antique themes makes me hope that Tsukumodo Antique Shop also get an anime someday. The antique shop looks visually appealing so far.

I don't know if I should lump this one with all those reverse harem series this season, there's only 1 guy so far (3 in the poster, 4 if we include the grandfather..) if it turns out that the next few episodes would just be the girl swooning over how holmesian the MC is then I'll definitely drop it.

I was surprised by Holmes' personality. I'm used to Holmes-type characters being acerbic, arrogant, and slightly self-centered. This "Holmes" wasn't. He seemed like a nice guy. It was a nice change of pace.

I wouldn't really call wanting to buy a ticket to go tell off her ex-boyfriend and ex-friend, a financial issue. It's not something she needs to do anyway. If anything I think she took the job because it gives her something to do and she now finds Holmes and what he does interesting.
Anyway, I also enjoyed the episode, and like Holmes as a character so far.

She was trying to sell antiques in order to buy the ticket. It's a financial issue imo.

To me a financial issue is someone needing money to get something that's a necessity. I'd love to get this really nice BJD, but I don't have the money, that's not a financial issue, that's a first world problem. I see her situation as much the same. If she was trying to sell antiques to feed her family, then that's a financial issue.

Holmesian characters really like their women like their oranges, with their skin peeled back and all the sense of comfort thrown aside. That aside, he's much kinder than most similar characters, if Aoi is indeed his Watson.
Unlike in Vatican Miracle Examiner, the story of a Japanese antique craft appraiser is way more down-to-earth, and you get to actually pin down the "mystery" to real life. As for the real story of the episode, Aoi wanted to give her ex-boyfriend a piece of her mind by selling two of her late grandfather's kakejiku for a bullet train ticket to Saitama. A bit excessive, if you'd ask me. Some people are not worth millions of yen in antique crafts. That said, despite the difference in coverage, there seems to be a villain lurking around making money out of counterfeits, and Aoi will definitely get caught in all of this. Currently my only worry is the rather below-average animation quality, especially in far shots. I hope the quality doesn't dip any lower.
