★★★★

Anime Digest

The lead character Mayumi Dojima is looking for the brilliant star she first saw as a little girl. She wants to fulfil her ambition of becoming an astronaut. She finds Manabu Soutouin, the quirky president of the Pretty Boy Detective Club while searching as her fourteenth birthday approaches. Along with the rest of the club, Manabu guarantees to assist Mayumi in unravelling the mystery of the lost star.

The Feel Good Part

The group gets involved in bizarre cases, such as uncovering the fraud schemes of the head of the high school casino or learning the truth behind a previous art teacher’s disappearing act. The cases are solved in the most exciting and enigmatical way conceivable. Heartfelt thanks to the directing crew.

The Disappointing Factor

We are not disappointed that realism does not exist in the world of anime; rather, we are disappointed that it cannot become real. The cases are incredibly bizarre and mysterious. O

In-Depth Analysis

The animation and art style are fantastic. There are no real issues with it that one might criticise. The only thing lacking is realism. It contains a plot twist toward the conclusion but it works well and fits in with the rest of the story. Yes. There doesn’t appear to be a definite plot for the series. Although it is episodic, the final twist makes all the episodes fit together like the pieces of a complete jigsaw puzzle.

Star Power

The voice actors do great justice to the characters.

Overall Opinion

The series is terrific and a must-watch for mystery anime viewers.
