As previously stated, the story is driven by the dialogue, and the direction has been consistently excellent. The studio’s decision to create distinctively designed eyes for the characters was an intriguing choice. Overall, the animation is remarkable, with a seamless and polished look.

Jogoro Kobato has successfully solved three cases – the theft of a pochette, Kengo Dojima’s clever method of making hot cocoa with limited utensils, and the mystery of a tampered vase. This reveals his exceptional intelligence and astute detective skills.

Up until episode 3, Yuki Osanai had remained an enigma. Throughout the episodes leading up to this, she had been portrayed as a courteous, mild-mannered individual seeking a simple life, much like Jogoro. However, a glimpse of a darker side to her is hinted at, as she harbors a desire for vengeance against those who have wronged her.

In the first three episodes, audiences have witnessed two different sides of Jogoro. On one hand, he is portrayed as a high school student trying to conform to societal norms and lead a regular life. On the other hand, he displays a more cunning, sarcastic, and arrogant side, hiding behind a friendly smile.

Despite her sweet appearance, Yuki’s true character is gradually revealing itself. It is evident to all that there is a darker side to her. It is possible that she possesses a twisted and cunning nature, much like that of a wolf. This theory is supported by the way she forms a wolf head with her hand during the opening theme.

The upcoming season of the show will offer a closer look into the personalities of Jogoro and Yuki, and their desire for a normal life. This will be achieved through a series of regular incidents that will be presented with the same intensity as a mystery. As a result, viewers can expect an visually stunning and thought-provoking experience.
