Cuticle Detective Inaba

Cuticle Detective Inaba is a TV anime adapted from the manga by もち, produced by ZEXCS under the direction of Mitsunaka Kan with series composition by Nakamura Makoto. Blending action, comedy, mystery, and supernatural elements, the series follows Hiroshi Inaba—a half-wolf detective with extraordinary hair-based abilities—as he teams up with Kuniharu Ogino and Kei Nozaki to take down the notorious crime boss Valentino. With its wild cast of characters and a perfect mix of slapstick humor and sharp detective work, Cuticle Detective Inaba delivers a uniquely entertaining watch for fans of offbeat supernatural comedies.

Imagine a society where chimeras—beings born of both human and animal heritage—live ordinary lives side by side with fully human citizens. It sounds harmonious enough, but where there are chimeras, there are also chimera criminals, and their cases come with a unique set of evidence that baffles even the most seasoned police detectives. Enter Hiroshi Inaba, a freelance investigator with wolf blood running through his veins. His standout skill? By simply handling or tasting a strand of hair, he can unlock a wealth of crucial clues hidden within. This extraordinary gift does come with an unusual side effect—a notable fascination with hair—but his two assistants seem to take it largely in stride. Lurking on the other side of the law is the formidable Don Valentino, a half-goat crime lord whose peculiar appetites and iron grip on the underworld make him Inaba's most dangerous adversary. In a city where the line between human and beast is blurred, one lone detective must rely on instinct, wit, and a very particular set of skills to pursue justice.
