An anime which starts off as a comedy, but immediately kills off the comedy part, which leaves you wondering why they even introduced the comedypart at all.
The main thing about this series is the mysterious aura which surrounds the entire plot. But even though it looks like a regular detective, it isn't; it goes much and much deeper, making this series much better than other detective series.
Unfortunately they haven't paid any attention to matching the mouths to the text, and they didn't even made an effort to make the characters move okay: they all move as if the series has been made in the early 80's, which means that when running in a diagonal way, the feet obviously don't even hit the floor which is pretty annoying. As if they didn't want to spend any time on this anime.
The story becomes rather boring and unbelievable after 4-5 episodes, but after episode 10 it becomes interesting again, and you can actually feel the intensity of getting to a climax. Again, unfortunately, the solution to the entire thing is a bit ... crappy.
Even though the series lacks a lot, and hardly makes up for the lacking parts, it still might be interesting enough to watch whenever you have nothing else to do. The detective-part is certainly entertaining, and the episodes 10+ are also pretty good.
Still, it's not good enough to give higher than decent rankings.

main cast
Surrounded by hills and seas on all sides, St. Luminous Mission High School is a girls' school characterized by its liberal school spirit. One day two high school boys appeared to the school. They are Kijima Kaihei, who came to St. Luminous in accordance with his grandfather's will, and his friend Tanami Ryuuzou. Not being a positive person in nature, Kaihei ended up, in the course of nature, to take on the post of the Director of St. Luminous, according to his grandfather's will. For his first job as the Director of school, Kaihei was asked to search for a girl student who had disappeared a few days ago. But he was so surprised to see the girl's photo, which was given to him by Sister Akane. He had witnessed the girl named Melina Sukavysih only a few hours ago in the forest on his way to St. Luminous.

This anime is all about mystery. It is what keeps you going when you watch it. That and some interesting insights into some philosophy and the characters motivation.
Sadly it suffers from two major drawbacks. The story is quite unbelievable, even when assuming an alternate reality. And the resolution to it all is also lacking quite a bit.
Overall it is not a bad waste of time if you can overlook some of its shortcomings. Moody atmosphere and some interesting twists make up for it.

male, cross-dressingThis character sometimes wears clothes traditionally worn by and associated with the opposite sex.
Cross-dressers often hide their cross-dressing identity for a long period of time and thus tend to become adept in accurately portraying the opposite sex in terms of voice, movement, behaviour, temperament, etc., double hairbunA double hairbun is a hairstyle sporting two off-center hairbuns, one to each side of the head. Like with a single hairbun and a ponytail, double hairbuns may be at the base of twintails. Stereotypical Chinese females are often seen wearing a cheongsam and a pair of hairbuns. The style can also be referred to as dango or odango, in reference to a type of Japanese dumpling with the same format., orekkoAn orekko is a female, usually young, who refers to herself using the "ore" pronoun. The "ore" pronoun is very masculine and considered impolite; it is usually associated with boys and young men and it is not used by females. Orekko are often also assertive in a boyish way, though this is not mandatory; some are orekko despite being quite introverted. A similar concept using the "boku" pronoun is the bokukko., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms.
