The Detective is Already Dead is unlike any other high-school detective anime you’ve seen. The storyline will have you glued to your seat, anticipating what’s gonna happen next.
It starts with the death of one of the main characters, Siesta. Slowly the gruesome consequences of Siesta’s past actions fall on Kimihiko, the protagonist and Siesta’s partner. While dealing with it, Kimihiko slowly comes to the realization that he never truly knew Siesta.
The anime The Detective is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru) revealed one last PV before its premiere on July 4.
Several shots, or more accurately, memories of Siesta, are seen from Kimihiko’s perspective. Kimihiko is seen meeting some new people after Siesta’s death, some of whom are Siesta’s acquaintances or friends.
The most shocking detail revealed is when Siesta and Kimihiko face each other from afar, and Kimihiko is pointing a gun at her. We hear a gunshot, and the screen goes blank.
This might as well be a marketing move by the staff, but is it really? Do you think Kimihiko killed Siesta? Let us know your thoughts on this!
🐰 Happy news 🐰

About The Detective Is Already Dead
Written by Nigojū and Umibōzu, The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mō, Shindeiru) is a light novel series that follows Kimihiko Kimizuka, a third-year high school student and former assistant of a detective named Siesta.
He made Siesta’s acquaintance three years ago, 10,000 meters above the ground in a hijacked plane. The two went on one death-defying adventure after another for three years that eventually ended with Siesta’s untimely death.
In the present day, Kimihiko tries his best to reintegrate himself back into normal life.
