What is A Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage about?
The anime is based on a manga written by Shinichi Sawaragi and illustrated by Tank Gasuyama. It began serialising in Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine in December 2022. Gasuyama has released an illustration of the two main characters to commemorate the anime adaptation.
Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story as:
Forty-year-old detective Eiji Kirisame has found maybe the strangest witness of his life: a silent high school girl named Tsugumi Kuchinashi who was at the scene of the crime. Her statements mostly consist of shoddy doodles on a drawing pad, but Eiji is no stranger to piecing together the truth from limited evidence—and besides, it seems like Tsugumi might have a knack for deduction! So he’ll take every page seriously if it might help solve the case. But, uh, does that last page really say…“Marry me?”?!
