About The Dinner Table Detective

The Dinner Table Detective (謎解きはディナーのあとで) blends comedy, drama and mystery by MADHOUSE (2025). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Rich heiress Reiko Hosho lives a double life as a novice detective, fighting crime under Inspector Kazamatsuri—also from a wealthy family. After work, Reiko sheds her pantsuit to don a lovely dress for dinner each day.

Beyond that: Difficult cases force her to confide in her butler Kageyama, who proceeds to savagely ridicule her inability to solve mysteries, all while brilliantly unraveling each case himself.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Kana Hanazawa as Reiko Houshou and Yuuki Kaji as Kageyama. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with MADHOUSE, which means the visual identity of The Dinner Table Detective follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on comedy, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.1/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Kana Hanazawa as Reiko Houshou, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2025, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
