Akira Amano, the creator of the wildly successful Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, is seeing another of her works adapted to anime. Studio Diomedéa brings her detective thriller Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective (Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri / Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deduction) to animated life. Though the series likely won’t have supernatural elements like in Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, assuredly, it will have just as much action and thrills. I mean — one of the protagonists is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes himself.
The series is set to premiere on October 2nd, 2023. To get hyped, check out the trailer below.
Studio Diomedéa has maintained a home page to promote Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective and an official Twitter page. Akira Amano has her own Twitter page that is certainly worth following. Fans and potential viewers can visit those sites for further information and to check out the key visual.
Akira Amano’s Mad Detective
Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective arose from the keen-minded Akira Amano. I don’t think she has a problem with not trying to get other people offing themselves. However, she wrote a series about the mafia and time travel, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and it’s a must-read. She then jumped seamlessly from the heroic mafia to mad detectives. Akira began working on Ron’s series on October 11th, 2020. Shueisha has thus far published eleven volumes in the Jump Comics+ imprint.
Diomedéa is no stranger to animating dramatic and thrilling series. It had previously worked on Domestic Girlfriend, a story about unrequited love, random hookups, and stepsiblings that keeps love in the family if you know what I mean. It also animated Fuuka, a story about music, triumph, and loss. That was an adaptation of Kōji Seo’s manga series, a stark contrast to his other work, The Cafe Terrace and its Goddesses, what with that being a harem series with sexy girls. If you want even more depressing anime, look no further than The Lost Village. It’s a series where people enter a village to find a new life but find mysteries on top of emotional and psychological scarring.
Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective follows the titular character well after he was kicked out of school. Ron is a sixth-generation descendant of Sherlock Holmes and a ninth-generation descendant of James Moriarty. His skills shine through, well honoring his heritage. However, he was kicked out of the Detective Training Academy Blue five years ago after the “Bloody Field Trip” incident, an event he cannot remember. Ron felt isolated and discouraged because he couldn’t continue as a detective without a license.
The Voices of Ron Kamonohashi
Yohei Azakami doesn’t always voice troubled characters like Ron Kamonohashi. He has previously played Charlotte Raisin in One Piece, Xenotime in Sailor Moon Eternal, and Bos Brunnen in Atelier Ryza. Wait, I don’t think that helped him at all. Moving on.
Besides voicing Totomaru, the detective behind the detective in this series, Junya Enoki has previously given life to the Male Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail, Faldeus Dioland in Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn, and Yukito Urabe in KamiKatsu.
Yoko Hikasa must be drawn to voicing cute boss characters like Amamiya. Her credits include Karen Helvetius in The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess, Cattleya in The Great Cleric, and Weiss Schnee in RWBY: Ice Queendom.
If you’re looking for a character who could have used a real detective to investigate something, then the J-List shop has an idea. The Ai Hoshino 1/7 KDcolle Figure from the Oshi no Ko section is available for pre-order. I want to see Ron take a crack at her case and really let loose.
