The series, which has exceeded 1.1 million copies in circulation, tells a coming-of-age mystery about Jōgorō Kobato, who, after bitter past experiences due to his exceptional reasoning skills, strives to become an upright and modest "shoshimin" (ordinary citizen). He forms a mutually beneficial "symbiotic relationship" with his classmate Yuki Osanai, who shares the same goal, but somehow the two continually get entangled in inexplicable incidents and misfortunes.
