Synopsis

Taking a lighthearted reprieve from criminal conspiracies, international terrorist plots, and tragic supernatural confrontations, legendary detective Siesta and her disaster-prone assistant Kimihiko Kimizuka unwind in delightful chibi form. Joined by Nagisa Natsunagi and Yui Saikawa, the miniature sleuths tackle absurd everyday dilemmas, investigate playful mysteries, and tease each other relentlessly across humorous micro-episodes. Whether debating favorite desserts, dissecting silly crime scene tropes, or testing ridiculous detective gadgets, these miniature vignettes highlight the tender, comedic bond shared by the series' memorable cast away from mortal danger.
