Summary: Hajime is the grandson of a famous detective and it appears he has inherited his grandfather's powers of deduction. Although he was eager to use them to solve problems as a child, he soon became tired of people comparing him to his grandfather, and stopped trying. He tries to be normal instead, and acts so damn adorably stupid.

His childhood friend [why is there always a childhood friend? I find it endearing but it also kinda annoyes me now >_<] invites him to go along with her club to a 'training camp', to an old abandoned village where her friend works. Hajime agrees to go along, so that he can hit on her friend, unaware that her friend is in fact a boy. Their teammates ditch them, so she goes there alone, and Hajime shows up late, having missed the bus and cycled there.

There is general scaring and creepiness and talk of the vampire legend in the village. Then people start seeing vampires, and things become a whole lot more serious when Miyuki witnesses the vampire killing a fellow guest, and they are not able to leave the village. Although Hajime at first wants nothing to do with it, he decides that he will definitely solve the case after Miyuki is accused of being the killer and has a near fatal accident.

Review: It maybe because I haven't had time to watch anything in a while, but I liked this a lot.

Sure, it was so predictable I kinda figured out who the culprit really soon [its always the least suspicious person whom the detective might have a blind spot for. Or the butler, but in this the butler was pretty suspicious so I figured it wasn't him.]

This also made the whole vampire legend into something plausible, and explainable (if you ignore the fact that nearly every person in the drama had 'Bombay Type Blood' despite the blood supposedly being very rare, and the rareness being the cause for the killings in the first place. -__-')

But the whole awesomeness of a detective case was there. There was a suspense filled mysterious atmosphere, and the explanations, although very unlikely were detailed and interesting.

It was also infinity creepy. The vampires, might possibly give me nightmares tonight. I started watching it with the lights off, but put them back on after I saw the vampire. >_>

Also, Kame-chan is adorable. And the Detective Ossan was HOT. *_*

Music: Tsuki no Michi by Kamenashi Kazuya [I ADORE this song]

Note: It seems Kame-chan played this following Tsuyoshi, and Matsujun. Must say I'm impressed.

Also, it makes me gleefully happy now that I know enough 日本語 to tell that the subs are not literal translations and what the characters are actually saying is different.

Also, Kame-chan is cute, okay. I do not mind admitting that, at all. XD [which is why fandom is great. Even when you lose, you win. ^_~]
