Taishi Tsutsui, the creator of the popular manga series We Never Learn, has made a comeback with a new rom-com manga titled Syd Craft: Love is a Mystery. This new manga introduces us to Syd Craft, a detective with exceptional sleuthing skills but a deep desire for love rather than solving mysteries. Despite his keen observation skills, Syd seems to miss out on romantic opportunities, making for an interesting storyline.
From a young age, Syd has been groomed by his parents to become a great detective, following in the footsteps of famous detectives like Sherlock Holmes. However, his true passion lies in love and romance, not in solving crimes. Unfortunately for Syd, his personal relationships always seem to get entangled with his detective work, leading to unfortunate outcomes. Will Syd ever find the love he seeks without it being overshadowed by his detective persona?
In addition to Syd, the manga introduces us to two important characters who support him in his crime-solving endeavors. Inspector Souffle Flamberry, despite her initial reservations about Syd’s involvement in police work, shows a soft spot for him. On the other hand, Elio Evelyn, a young assistant to Syd, is eager to assist him in solving cases. Elio’s ability to easily connect with others is something Syd admires, but Elio also harbors a secret that could potentially impact Syd’s romantic life.
As the story unfolds in the first chapter, Syd delves into a new case involving a mysterious suicide that may be a murder in disguise. Along the way, he crosses paths with Limmery Rose, the charming owner of a local pub frequented by Elio. Limmery’s apparent interest in Syd raises hopes for a romantic connection, but knowing Syd’s track record, things might not be as straightforward as they seem.
With the launch of Syd Craft: Love is a Mystery on the Shonen Jump app, readers can expect a blend of romance, mystery, and humor in this new manga series. As Syd navigates through his cases with the support of his companions, the possibility of finding love amidst his detective adventures remains uncertain. Will Syd finally achieve the romantic happiness he desires, or will his detective duties continue to overshadow his personal life? Only time will tell as the story of Syd Craft unfolds in future chapters.
