Kodansha Launches ‘Hundred Note’, a New Mix-Media Project, and Other Things

For years, fans of the detective anime genre have anxiously followed the exploits of their favorite characters. The genre frequently uses elaborate and complex plots that are full of intrigue and suspense. There is no shortage of fantastic detective anime available for viewers to enjoy, ranging from classic series like Detective Conan to more recent hits like Psycho-Pass.

There is one other anime series that is generating excitement, though.

Recently, Kodansha unveiled their Hundred Note mix-media project, which consists of events, a manga publication schedule, and an anime series. All mystery readers can expect a fascinating ride from this. Prepare to crack some cases with the detectives from Hundred Note!

The plot is set in Tokyo City in the year 20XX, which has earned a reputation as a criminally inclined city. A three-man team consisting of a detective and two helpers forms a “house” that solves crimes in this game where 100 detectives and their aides engage in a mental match against criminals.

A trailer introducing the teams and characters as well as various other pictures were also revealed today for the project. The music in the teaser trailer up top was composed by Masaru Yokoyama and Kana Hashiguchi.

The visuals that were made public include:

I adore the project’s new visuals that were made public. I can’t wait to see more of the teams and characters because they look wonderful.

Masaru Yokoyama and Kana Hashiguchi’s music provides the ideal accompaniment to the teaser video. The Crown Cane is one of my favorite sights.
