Don’t Call It Mystery
First 2-in-1 omnibus releases in English on May 30th. Ongoing.
Licensed by Seven Seas
Also known as Do Not Say Mystery: a quirky, award-winning mystery manga from Yumi Tamura, the shojo powerhouse creator of Basara and 7SEEDS--inspired a live-action series and film!
Totonou is a young college student who stands out--both for his bushy hairdo and his finely-honed abilities of observation and deduction. When Totonou is accused of murder, he puts his skills to work and uses his exceptional insights to find the real killer. Later, all Totonou wants to do is return to his own little world, but he can't avoid getting caught up in one mystery after another. In his own blunt yet gentle way, Totonou is a truth seeker who tries to make sense of a chaotic--and often dangerous—world.

so many years and yet tamura yumi's basara remains the ideal romance. we rarely see each other but we love each other lots and treasure spending time together free from the building pressures of our work lives! as the young prince, i and my small but plucky group of friends are going to save the country no matter what. well i and my plucky group of armed rebellion leaders are going to destroy the country no matter what, especially you since you burned down my village and murdered everyone a while back. let's go do a crocodile obstacle course together under our given names and not ask about each other's careers <3
