This detective is (occasionally) a sage.
Kenji Tomarigi runs a secondhand bookstore in a certain corner of Tokyo.
He is a hopeless man—lethargic, lecherous, and eager to drink alcohol from broad daylight.
—However, his true identity is a master detective known by the alias "The Sage."
Tomarigi, who has solved numerous difficult cases, has a certain secret.
That secret is that his deductive powers improve dramatically when he enters what is known as "Sage Time."
A secondhand bookstore stands quietly in a certain corner of Tokyo. There, lived a detective with the name "The Sage."
Purple smoke rises in the shop, which is filled with the scent of wood, paper, and ink.
He has one leg crossed over his knee, looking down at his favorite book.
Then, the sliding door of the shop creaks open, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Without looking up from the book.
Welcome.
