Synopsis of The Flawed Detective
Yamashita Ryuichi, 26, passed the civil service exam and joined the National Police Agency. He thought he'd be assigned to some quiet department where he'd serve tea and take it easy, but instead, an order sent him to the legendary Special Cases Investigation Division, an independent unit staffed by eccentric detectives and tasked with handling "imperfect" crimes.
His partner is Kujo Ren, known as the "Flawed Detective." His case-solving rate is exceptionally high, but his methods are utterly absurd. He never seeks perfect deductions. Instead, he's obsessed with finding the "flaws" in a crime, exposing the most ridiculous truths in the most unserious ways. A locked-room mystery that falls apart at the end, a copycat murder that fails to resemble its inspiration, an alibi abandoned halfway through... When criminals themselves start phoning it in, Kujo Ren finds something more terrifying than a perfect crime in their hole-ridden schemes.
"Perfect crimes don't exist. But flawed ones often conceal true malice."
