Detectives These Days Are Crazy! (Japanese: まったく最近の探偵ときたら, Hepburn: Mattaku Saikin no Tantei Tokitara; lit. 'Detectives These Days, Really') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masakuni Igarashi.

Plot
[edit]About 20 years ago, Keiichiro Nagumo was an ace detective in Japan despite being in high school. No case was too tough for him to solve. However, at 35 years old, his age is catching up with him. Nagumo no longer has the youthful energy or fame from his high school days. Suffering from aching hips and back issues, on top of growing increasingly jaded, his private eye office is struggling to attract clients and making it hard to afford rent and food. One day, an excitable high school girl named Mashiro Nakanishi appears at his doorstep and wants to be his apprentice, which he initially refuses. After she helps him finish a case, Nagumo lets her stay as an unpaid apprentice. Mashiro repays him by helping him deal with a wide range of cases from finding lost pets and exterminating bugs to hunting down masked villains and violent gangsters.

When the same girl shows up again, she helps him complete the job by pretending to be his "age gap" girlfriend despite his loud protestations. After getting photographic proof of the cheating wife for the client, Nagumo reluctantly lets the girl stay on as an unpaid apprentice, and she reveals her name as Mashiro.

However, a lack of clarity on the address leads Mashiro to the office of a yakuza group, but she proceeds to destroy it anyway.

Following Hayashida's confession, Mashiro returns with a real captured ghost. Nagumo is held by the Tokyo MPD under suspicion of being an underwear thief, where his former classmate, Soya Mimasaka, is the one interrogating him. However, the person caught on camera stealing underwear looks a lot like Nagumo, so Mimasaka refuses to release him until Mashiro and Nezu set a trap to catch the real thief and bring him to the station. A captured suspect called "Knit Man" reveals he planted a bomb in a nearby parking garage. Mashiro attempts to disarm the bomb, but runs low on time after taking multiple selfies next to it.

While the two rush off to complete a tiebreaker, Nagumo tells Maki-chan that he has no intention of firing Mashiro and that he happy that he serves as Asunaro's inspiration. Mashiro then manages to win the race by unleashing numerous objects buried somewhere within her sailor uniform and making herself lighter.

After Asunaro goes through clumps of his adoring female fans, Nagumo spots a man in a hoodie stalking him from farther out.

When Mashiro heads outside to check if the rope bridge to the mansion is burning, she accidentally destroys it. Not wanting to admit this, Nagumo and Mashiro play along when another guest suggests there is a killer at the party trying to recreate the family massacre. Asunaro gets dragged into the act and accuses one of the guests, Megumi Shiraishi, of being the killer. To everyone's surprise, she admits to planning her revenge after being the sole survivor of the massacre. Back at the office, Mashiro tells Nagumo that Shiraishi's family was actually alive and Kuroi was at the dinner the whole time, so everyone was misguided at the party.

Suddenly, Mimasaka appears and addresses Fuu-chan as his daughter. Fuu-chan then proclaims that she will become the "Phantom Thief Beaver" and steals Nagumo's wallet. Fuu-chan demonstrates her love of thievery by stealing various items from Nagumo's office when the local news reports that a Phantom Thief named Riverfake has left a calling card that he intends to steal "The Smile" painting.

The group watches one of the VTuber's videos to test the claim, only for Mashiro to suddenly turn into a monster and jump out the window. Maki-chan tries to get the cops to help but they only arrest a local pervert instead of Mashiro. As Mashiro struggles to fight the brainwashing, Maki-chan tries commanding her to go home like a dog, causing Mashiro to go to the "home" of the men behind Yomoya Hikari instead and chase them into the open where the "Big Four Creepy Old Dudes" take them down. Fuu-chan spends the day practicing her Phantom Thief skills, only to be foiled by the eccentricities of the Big Four Creepy Old Dudes.

It is later revealed the Serial Smartphone Molester tried the same act on Azuha the previous day, only for the phone to literally blow up in his face.
