Synopsis

Kimihiko Kimizuka is a crisis-magnet. From getting caught up in a crime scene to accidentally witnessing a drug deal, trouble seems to find him around every corner. So it is no surprise when his rather mundane flight suddenly enters a state of emergency with a dire need of a detective onboard. Unfortunately, his attempt at avoiding trouble is foiled by a beautiful girl with silver hair who goes by the codename Siesta. Declaring herself a detective, she unceremoniously drags Kimizuka into the case as her assistant.

That incident spelled the beginning of an adventure around the globe that went beyond his wildest imagination. Putting their lives on the line, the two took down criminal organizations, prevented disasters, and saved thousands. But the curtain closed to their epic journey with Siesta's untimely death three years later.

Resolving to live an ordinary high school life this time, Kimizuka spends a year maintaining a low profile. However, as fate would have it, a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Siesta comes crashing into his life, threatening to throw his peaceful days into disarray.

If you are looking for a comment written by a light novel Expert, then this is not the comment you're looking for.

I never read a light novel before and out of nowhere i decided to buy one.
Tantei wa Mou is my first light novel ever, and as a humble beginner, I really enjoyed this novel so much.
I found this a well written LN, which was able, with its amazing atmposhere and dialogues, to keep me reading the book. In addition I loved the characters, but especially the relationships between all of them.
Last but not least, the general idea of the "The Detective is already Dead" ...

Tanmoshi Vol 1 Review

"You will be my assistant."

These small yet insignificant words in the grand scheme of things carry a heavy weight in a series of convalescing events, until eventually they converge on each other. An ever-revolving narrative.

Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru, also known as The Detective is Already Dead. Or more colloquially to its mainstream audience, Tanmoshi, is one of those encounters in the world of light novels you just can't explain.
A hidden gem in the mass stockpile of more relevant material.

A far-fetched duo, paths unlikely to ever cross, scouring the entire globe.

This story for me is acutally pretty good if it wasn't for the anime adaptation.

I bought the First volume right when it was announced that it will get a anime adaptation. Though super hyped about the adaptation i was just plainly disappointed. even so much that for me, it destroy the experience and feeling that I had when reading through the light novel so that it leaves a bad after taste when thinking about the butchered scenes from the anime adaptiation.

The story and art is actually pretty good. From the covers and the art shown in the LN,
the Characters though fulfill to many ...
