Synopsis
Shiraki Yu rejects a stable offer from his uncle's cargo company to join a detective agency upon the recommendation of an online acquaintance. Despite encountering supernatural entities and eccentric detectives in the city of Yokohama, Yu remains stubbornly focused on his identity as a simple salaried employee. This novel reads like a workplace comedy set within an urban fantasy world, utilizing the 'mundane person in a magical world' trope. It is perfect for BL enthusiasts who enjoy absurdist humor and a protagonist who prioritizes a paycheck over plot-driving drama. However, those seeking a logically rigorous mystery or a serious narrative should skip it. The story is fast-paced and lean, characterized by its comedic tone and a refusal to take its own chaotic setting seriously.

Editorial Review
The novel's primary strength lies in its comedic framing; the juxtaposition of high-stakes supernatural events with the protagonist's obsession with his wages creates a consistent and amusing irony. At 74 chapters, the story is concise and benefits from being a completed work, ensuring a definitive conclusion. However, the editorial quality is hampered by the author's own admission that logic is secondary to humor. This approach, combined with warnings regarding out-of-character portrayals, suggests a narrative that may feel erratic or disjointed to readers who value internal consistency. While it succeeds as a lighthearted diversion, the lack of structural rigor prevents it from being a more substantial piece of fiction. It functions best as a niche character study in absurdity rather than a cohesive plot-driven novel.
