The visual is titled ‘But The Will Never Dies,’ which is essentially the anime’s plot in a nutshell.

It features the main characters of the anime: Siesta, Kimihiko Kimizuka, Nagisa Natsunagi, Yui Saikawa, and Charlotte Arisaka Anderson.

It is scheduled for 12 episodes, and the debut episode of the show will be a 1-hour special.

As the title mentioned, the story starts with the death of Siesta, a detective and the protagonist. Even though her body and soul are no more, what remains are her secrets and the repercussions of her past actions.

The poster gives a feeling of closure, and it seems like the characters connected to Siesta are finally accepting her death and moving on. We also see Siesta holding a red ribbon that might reference the myth of the ‘red string of fate.’

It would make a lot of sense that way as everything around Kimihiko is because of his fateful encounter with Siesta.

About The Detective Is Already Dead

Written by Nigojū and Umibōzu, The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mō, Shindeiru) is a light novel series that 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 normal life.
