Synopsis of Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru
The story follows Kimihiko Kimitsuka, a young man who four years ago became the assistant of a mysterious detective known as "Siesta" during a plane hijacking. Together, Kimihiko and Siesta embarked on mind-bending adventures and explored the world while battling a secret organization, but all that came to an end when Siesta died.
Today, Kimihiko is trying to return to an ordinary, boring life as a high school student, but things will never be that simple, even though the detective is already dead. So how will things be from now on?
