The anime series is based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Yusei Matsui, directed by Hiroshi Kōjina and co-produced by Madhouse, Nippon Television, Shueisha, D.N. Dream Partners and VAP.[1] The series follows Neuro Nogami: a demon who depends on mysteries for sustenance and, after solving all the mysteries in the demonic world, comes to Earth to solve its mysteries.
