In short, it has a pretty intense storyline with cheerful and bright characters, thereby blending the mystery and slice of life genres perfectly.

The previously released promo videos and visuals for its anime adaptation introduced us to the main characters like Kimihiko, Siesta, and Nagisa. Now, the franchise brings a side character to the spotlight with a new key visual released shortly.

On Saturday, the official Twitter account for the anime adaptation of The Detective is Already Dead revealed its third key visual featuring idol singer Yui Saikawa.

TV anime “The Detective is dead.

The third visual is released!

“Still, I want to keep my hope of living.”

Yui Saikawa is a popular national idol of all ages, regardless of age or gender, despite being a junior high school girl.

In the visual, we see Yu Saikawa in her concert costume. She is performing a song on stage while Kimihiko and his classmate Nagisa cheer for her from behind.

A mystery story without any comic relief seems tiring after a certain point. That’s exactly what Yu’s character is here for; she brings the much-required laughter that makes us forget the intense plot for few moments.

Kimihiko has been depressed since he lost his detective partner, and he goes back to a boring life shutting him down from the thrill of facing danger so that no one else ends up like Siesta.

Can his new friends fill the void in him and bring back normalcy to his life? We have to wait for the anime to know it for sure.

About The Detective Is Already Dead

Written by Nigojū and Umibōzu’s The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mō, Shindeiru), the light novel follows Kimihiko Kimizuka, a third-year high school student and former assistant of a detective named Siesta.

He made Siesta’s acquaintance three years ago, 10,000 meters above the ground in a hijacked plane. The two went on one death-defying adventure after another for three years that eventually ended with Siesta’s untimely death.

In the present day, Kimihiko tries his best to reintegrate himself back into a normal life.
