Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
#1
Anyone ever heard of it?

The short version: Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Usually shortened to Nougami Neuro or Neuro) focuses on the troubles of a high school student named Katsuragi Yako when her father is brutally murdered and a demon named "Brain Eater" Neuro appears and coerces her to become his servant to help him eat riddles and mysteries.

The title character of the series, Neuro is literally a detective from hell. He looks to mysteries for sustanence. As he explains it, when he dismantles the mystery and strips the culprit of all of their defenses, that releases the negative energies that caused the culprit to commit the crime, which he then consumes. He came to the human world in search of the Ultimate Mystery, as all of the mysteries in Hell were bland and repetitive. Once in the human world, he adopted Katsuragi Yako as his assistant and began to solve mysteries.

What's up with Yako and Neuro?: Neuro's cover story is basically that Yako is his 'sensei' and that he found her in the latest mystery craze. He claims that she's brilliant and her deductions flawless (most people in the series miss that Neuro is the one delivering the verdict, although the few cases where someone asks Yako directly about it, Yako usually manages to save Neuro's cover), and usually looms behind her when investigating. In reality, Neuro possesses Yako's hand and makes her point out the culprit, then shoves her aside to explain. When the two aren't solving mysteries, Neuro can usually be found hanging upside down or sideways, sometimes morphing his fingers to screwdrivers and such and dismantling anything electronic, or he's making Yako miserable. Since he got his own office, he spends his time building Yako's reputation. He treats Yako like dirt and seems to think that she has the brain power of a worm. However, he relies on her to explain human things and to give him access to crime scenes, so she's not entirely useless to him.
