Totomaru Isshiki is a detective who has failed three consecutive times to solve the cases he has been given. Having totally lost faith in his abilities his manager refuses to put him on any important cases. However, after talking with a fellow officer about how a series of murders has gone on with no hope of being solved, the officer tells Totomaru to visit a man named Ron Kamonohashi. Before Totomaru even has a chance to ask for help, Ron immediately rejects his offer. It isn't until Totomaru gets a call saying that there has been a new murder and he's the closest to the location that Ron agrees to help. But before they leave Ron tells Totomaru that the reason he denied the request is because his detective license was revoked due to an illness that interferes with his work. Once Ron is given details about the serial murders he finds out who the murderer is almost immediately. Using Totomaru as the face that is solving the crimes, Ron begins sleuthing again.
Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions was actually a lot better than I was expecting. I have been wanting to watch a series of murder mysteries, and this anime did not disappoint. I like when common tropes have a spin put on them. So when the common hot spring episode came up, it was cool to see it turn into a murder mystery. Another thing i liked is when Ron solves a case he flicks his hair which was reminiscent of Keima Katsuragi's "I can see the ending" scene in The World God Only Knows. The series stays entirely clean both in language and visually, except for a single scene where Totomaru Isshiki's manager Amamiya walks into the mens hot spring and throws off her towel in front of Ron and Totomaru. However you only see her undressed from the back, and it doesn't last for more than a few seconds. So if you skip over that scene in episode 3 the whole season will be clean. If you enjoy murder mysteries I would definitely suggest giving Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions a watch.
