content
The young Nice works as a detective in his own office, called Hamatora (“Yokohama Troubleshooter”) in Yokohama . He has a reputation for taking every case, especially the extraordinary. When solving the assignments, it is not only his ability to combine and understand things that helps him, but also his minimum - a special skill that has been cultivated in him. For this he was at the Falcutas Academy, where talented people are trained with a minimum in order to then take high positions in the state. But Nice hated the training there and left the academy to start his own business with his young partner Hajime. While he has the ability to move five meters at the speed of sound, Hajime is unusually strong - and at the same time unusually voracious.
To bring Nice back to the academy, the model student Murasaki is sent after him. He should convince him to return or kill Nice. At first he is amazed by the way he works and how he works and refuses to acknowledge his talent as a detective. Then he is surprised again and again by Nice's success and Murasaki's image of his target object changes. All attempts to persuade him to return also fail.
