She’s the fastest detective who solves every case within a day! Important information is always written on her body in permanent marker.

“I am Okitegami Kyoko. Detective. My memory resets every day.”

Kakushidate Yakusuke, “history’s unluckiest man” who’s always mistaken for a criminal and needs the detective’s help, falls in love with her. Their bittersweet romance means that no matter how close they get, she’ll forget him the next day and say “Nice to meet you.”

Three employees at the “Hourglass” apartment complex and detective agency provide strong support for Kyoko and Yakusuke’s investigations and romance: Kizunai Horo, Narikawa Nuru, and Makuma Makuru.

The series combines the intrigue of solving mysterious cases within a single day with the ephemeral nature of memories that can’t be retained no matter how much one wishes to remember them. Can love bloom between Kyoko and Yakusuke when their moments together can’t become memories?

This first live-action adaptation of popular author Nishio Ishin’s mystery novel follows the “Forgetful Detective” Kyoko as she races to solve mysteries before forgetting them!
