Introduction

The story begins with a pair of detectives: Shinjurou Yuuki, known as “the Last Great Detective", and his partner, Inga. Togther, they solve the mysteries of the world and uncover hidden truths. If a wealthy man is assassinated in the West, they'll travel there and expose the murderer. If a man dies of a curse in the East, they'll prove that it wasn't a curse, with Shinjurou's reasoning and Inga's aid. When their strange bond is firing on all cylinders, there's no mystery that they can't solve.

Or that's what they would have everyone believe, but more often than not, things don't go as planned for the pair. Even so, it's as if the two are drawn into pitting themselves against cases.

"However, calling me in means that some crime is going to occur. And a major crime at that."

Story

Private detectives have been out of fashion for many years, but that's how Shinjurou Yuuki identifies himself. With his superior deductive powers, Shinjurou solves various challenging cases. Meanwhile, Inga, an attractive young lad, serves as Shinjurou's “buddy”. But contrary to his cute appearance, he's a sharp, arrogant rogue. Why Inga sticks with Shinjurou is not immediately appparent.

The setting of the story is a post-war Tokyo of the future, one that still bears the scars of war. Ruling the land is Media King Rinroku Kaishou, who has the communications infrastructure under his thumb, giving him great power over both politics and industry. Kaishou is renowned for his use of logic and the massive amount of information at his fingertips to solve a great number of mysteries. But unbeknownst to the public at large, most of those discoveries have been the work of Shinjurou Yuuki, "the Last Great Detective." (The public, in fact, regards Shinjurou as a loser, and gives him the nickname, "Defeated Detective".) Still, Shinjurou, together with Inga, can't help but search for the truth.

A story boldly adapted from Ango Sakaguchi's Ango Torimonochou (Ango Detective Stories)! Character designs by pako and Yun Kouga!

Director Seiji Mizushima, writer Shou Aikawa and anime studio BONES, the team behind megahit Fullmetal Alchemist, have reunited to create another major work, UN-GO. While following the spirit of Ango Sakaguchi's Meiji Kaika Ango Torimonochou, which was set in the Meiji era, this adaptation boldly shifts the setting to the near future. With a style that can only be done with anime, a brand-new detective is brought forth.

Also featuring character designs helmed by illustrators pako (Scared Rider Xechs) and Yun Kouga (Mobile Suit Gundam 00).
