[Shugo Chara!] The Detective Miss and the Cross-Dressing Mister

People ask: What is the difference between a genius and a madman? In truth, there is no clear distinction between them. You could say the difference lies in a single thought. And Hanakawa Ayasu is a genius through and through, or perhaps a madwoman.

"Be clever. Keep quiet and observe until you've gathered all the evidence."

"I'm not sure, my dear miss. We're still missing the final piece of evidence."

"If my guess is right, the mastermind has left plenty of other traces behind."

"Shh. I know you're Nadeshiko, and I also know you're Nagihiko."

Truth is always in the hands of the few.

Before you read:

1. Original female lead, a genius detective whose personality is inspired by Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

2. A BG story in yuri's clothing.

3. The female lead is very clever, the sort who notices every detail, more or less.

4. The female lead refers to herself as "boku," but doesn't go out of her way to hide her gender.

5. Hanakawa Ayasu: Japanese romanization.

6. Follows the original plot. I won't abandon it, but the update schedule is a mystery.

7. Around medium to long length.

8. Happy ending, absolutely. If it isn't sweet, I'll lose.

9. No corruption arc, and the female lead isn't especially overpowered. She has only one sweetheart.

10. My writing is average. Please read on if that's okay with you.
