■ Work Introduction
"I wish the world would just end." Living with Tsukiya, a senior who often mutters such things, is troublesome. The university is closed due to an infectious disease, making it difficult to go out. To kill time and earn some pocket money, junior Yosuke starts an "悩み解決サイト" (trouble-solving website). However, the requests he receives are nothing but bothersome: "a husband with strange habits," "a wife with pseudologia fantastica," "a sister who is a self-appointed lockdown police." Amidst these annoying days, Tsukiya's "parent-killing plan," a 21-year-old secret, and Yosuke's desire to prevent the crime are eventually revealed. Detective or criminal? A story of two people weaving emotions more important than words, featuring short stories solving everyday mysteries and the "suicidal detective's" perfect crime plan.
