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. The premise: 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.

Another thread: 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.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Reiko Houshou (Kana Hanazawa) and Kageyama (Yuuki Kaji) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
