Summary:
Yako's father was murdered in a locked room. She then meets a man named Neuro Nougami who is a demon from Hell who eats "riddles." He forces Yako to act as a detective so he can solve mysteries. Neuro longs to eat the ultimate mystery.
Alright. Guess what? its just so happens that a story with a demon who wants to eat mysteries, with a girl with a bottomless stomach with a yakuza who just doesn't eat anything at all throughout the entire anime series, work so well to solve some mysteries, just cause the first guy feels like it. Screw morals, cause Neuro just loves to bite peoples heads to suck their mysteries in their brains out. This unusual detective type story has elements of action, which makes it very entertaining as the action seems almost too real to be true, but nevertheless it provides a refreshing break from all that detective thinking, and you can almost laugh at neuro getting some smacks for his oversized ego in his everyday activities. Moreover, the fact that Yako just doesnt seem to stop eating and continues to never ever grow any more weight and is praised for her looks, makes me feel somewhat PISSED! But its ok, cause its not real. The guy has his favourite line, something on the lines of the mystery is already on the tip of my tongue, which I hear every time, seems almost classic. It is certainly great entertainment, and a great anime to watch if you are interested in psychological/detective type stories.
The only thing is...when you look at neuro's eyes, thy remind me of a rapist. dunno why. just saying. probably cause he likes whipping the yakuza at yako, often referred to as his slaves. XD
