They would have gotten away with it too, If it weren't for these meddling protagonists.

A list of manga about solving a big mystery, solving individual cases that are unrelated to each other or solving individual cases which are linked to solving a bigger mystery.

The mysteries solved are either a mystery to both the protagonist and the reader or just the protagonist with the reader knowing most of what's going on, it may also be a mystery to whoever is trying to solve the mystery which could be supporting characters or the protagonists antagonist.

”Otomen” are men who have feminine hobbies and thoughts and show great ability in housework.

They are not gay, and do not wish to become women. They are just regular men who happen to enjoy cute things, cooking, cleaning, etc. In general things that are usually regarded as feminine.

Other names may be used.

"A character who is In Touch With His Feminine Side, also known as a Tomgirl, a Girly Boy, or a Sensitive Guy, is a male character who lacks certain stereotypically male traits and may adopt some stereotypically girlish traits."

Here is a list of well-written light novels that has a (not necessary good) anime adaptation.

If you have never read light novels before, then pick one in this lists and give it a try. Light novels with anime adaptations are easy to picture in your mind if you have watched it before! They are also, by design, way easier to digest compared to those nonsense literatures you might read in grade schools.

I try to put them roughly in descending order according to my favorite, which is subject to change over time of course.

(More entries will be added later.)

Manga which

[1] give off the vibe of spring, or

[2] associated with common themes:
-- arrival, fertility, life
-- rebirth, growth, freshness, opportunity
-- nature, flora, sunshine, joy
-- purity, innocence, youth, promise, romance

This list is pretty much just a compilation of all Aoyama's recommendations (Detective Picture Book segment), it's on the dust jacket of every Detective Conan manga volume, it lists also his favourite book/episode/chapter from the series, I'll be listing all the manga, or manga related ones, but please check out the full list if you are interested in detective fiction!

Just a fair warning, there's a lot of Japanese detectives, and sometimes famous ones like Poirot and Miss Marple that have been adapted as anime, this list is only for manga (And some light novels), but I might make one for anime at some point. I was going over the list and noticed Millionaire Detective was adapted from a novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui (He also wrote A Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Paprika! It's a small world huh) I'm not going to include it in this list, but I just thought I'd let you know.

Another point while I was compiling it, a lot of these are unknown outside of Japan, and I personally can't read Japanese (Maybe in the future!), I've tried doing my best in finding related material, however If I missed any, I apologise. Please also forgive me for not providing more in-depth descriptions, I like detective fiction, however a lot of these I haven't heard or read, please check them out if you are interested in any.

If you have any criticism, I'll do my best to fix any mistakes, thank you!

Genre of romance with a loner mc as protagonist or male lead. Anti-social/introvert. Those last two words are there for the search.
