A Sherlock Holmes mystery wrapped in rakugo storytelling, set in the neon chaos of Kabukicho where every case feels like a performance that could tip from funny to dark without warning. The show commits to its weirdness in a way most mystery adaptations are too afraid to risk. Each episode pulls you into bingewatching because you genuinely don't know if the next case will be absurd or haunting, and the show refuses to pick a lane.

Shinjuku's Kabukicho district glows with neon, but its bright lights hide deep shadows. John H. Watson, who works at a university hospital on the west side, needs help with a strange case, and his search leads him to the Pipe Cat, an underground bar where the area's top detectives meet and find work. The most famous of them is the eccentric, rakugo-loving Sherlock Holmes, who lives in Mrs. Hudson's tenement alongside a colorful group of fellow investigators. As a serial killer known as Jack the Ripper carries out a deadly spree in the district, John watches Sherlock expose the truth at a crime scene and is gradually pulled into the detective life. The tone swings between comedy and suspense, leaving it unclear which one the story really is.
