About Ryoko's Case File

Here is what Ryoko's Case File (Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo) is about, retold in plain terms: a supernatural, mystery and police anime by Doga Kobo (2008). In short: Based on a series of light novels written by Tanaka Yoshiki and illustrated by Kakinouchi Narumi. The story revolves around Ryouko Yakushiji, a 27-year-old multilingual investigator that graduated from Tokyo University's elite Department of Law, and the bizarre cases she faces while working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.

Beyond that: Yakushiji not only has to deal with supernatural beings in her line of work, but also her rival Yukiko Muromachi, another equally talented and beautiful police investigator.

As a supernatural title, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. If you count yourself among fans of eerie, otherworldly settings, put it on your list.
