The romantic comedy follows Rinna Isshiki, an elite, straight-laced officer who joined the police at age 17 (but has not experienced romantic love), and Meishi Rokutanda, a kind but scatterbrained and incompetent detective. As two newbies at love, they become a couple (of sorts) as they find out about romance.

Araragi has been serializing the manga in Kadokawa’s Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine, and it will publish the manga’s ninth compiled volume on October 23.
