Seven Seas Licenses My Dear Detective: Mitsuko's Case Files Manga Series

(May 15, 2024) – Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the manga series My Dear Detective: Mitsuko's Case Files by Natsumi Ito. Get ready to solve the case with Japan's first woman detective and her assistant in this Showa-era tale, first made popular in English through its digital publication on Azuki!

Hoshino Mitsuko is a determined and hard-working woman living in the 1930s, where career women are a rarity and looked down upon. Despite rampant sexism and pressure to “stay home,” she's determined to prove herself as a successful detective no matter what. One day, she's approached by the handsome waiter Yoshida Saku, who presents Mitsuko with her very first solo case. Together, the two work closely to solve the mystery, and Mitsuko finds Saku quite capable—but very curious—and takes him on as her new assistant. Can this duo tackle cases and the turbulent atmosphere of the Showa era?

My Dear Detective: Mitsuko's Case Files Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in October 2024 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, with the series available in single-volume editions.
