action
The classes of Detective Dan Morihiko (DDS), the most famous detective school in Japan, solve criminal cases. The Q class, consisting of Kyū Renjō, Megumi Minami, Kintaro Touyama, Kazuma Narusawa and Ryu Amakusa, deals with murder cases, secrets and myths as well as investigations against the criminal organization Pluto. This is known for planning almost unsolvable cases that can only be solved by a handful of detectives. She uses hypnosis for her goals, which forces the person to commit murder or suicide. It is triggered by a specific event (e.g. the striking of a clock, the clarification of the existing case, etc.), which then causes the action.
The main character is fourteen-year-old Kyū Renjō, who has wanted to become a detective himself since a detective freed him from the hands of hostage takers as a child. His mother, who raised him alone, is against this profession. She does not tell her son that the detective who saved him back then was his father, who was the partner of Morihiko Dan, the school's founder and the most famous detective in Japan, and who later died in a case.
