The anime is based on the SHOSHIMIN Series mystery novels by Hyouka’s Honobu Yonezawa. The story follows Jogoro Kobato, a boy with great deduction skills, and Yuki Osanai, a girl with sharp perception and strong initiative. Past experiences cause the two to aspire to a plain life, but unfortunately for them, their high school seems to be a hotbed for mysterious cases and misfortune.
The Shoshimin Series, which is published under Tokyo Sogensha Sougen’s Suiri Bunko label, had four main volumes released between 2004 to 2009. A short story compilation was released in 2020, and a new novel was released in April, 2024. The first two books have inspired manga adaptations.
