嘘解きレトリック
The tag team of an impoverished, debt-ridden detective with a sharp, analytical eye and a girl with the strange ability to “hear lies” crack cases in this retro-modern back-alley sleuthing drama.
In 1926, Kanoko Urabe, a girl growing up in the countryside, has had the ability to hear when people are lying for as long as she can remember. However, the villagers shun her because of her power. Kanoko’s mother, Fumi Urabe, tries to protect her, but Kanoko leaves the village, not wanting to trouble her mother any longer. She winds up in Tsukumoyacho, a town awash in lies. In search of work, Kanoko goes to a cafe called “Rose,” which had a help wanted ad posted looking for waitresses urgently, but the waitress there, Lily , turns her down, saying that the position has just been filled. With nowhere to go, Kanoko collapses from hunger, and the head of the Iwai Detective Office, Soma Iwai, who was coincidentally passing by, stops to help her. Eventually, Kanoko becomes Soma’s assistant, and together they solve many difficult cases as she looks for a place where she can belong..
