Maneki Kei, a male model with an uncanny knack for stumbling upon dead bodies, often finds himself labeled a key suspect in murder cases due to his calm demeanor and unusual “condition.” Teaming up with his fellow models—Itsuki, a sharp-witted mystery enthusiast, and Simon, a charming flirt—Kei works to clear his name by solving the crimes he encounters. As they tackle intriguing mysteries, this engaging tale blends humor, suspense, and clever deduction in a story of three friends unraveling secrets in the glamorous yet perilous world of modeling.

Kyotaro, Takahito, and Takumi are sons of a Shinto priest, a Buddhist priest, and a Christian minister. The three men are awkward friends who face the pressures of inheriting religious institutions. Their work is not as easy as outsiders imagine. Ceremonies, family expectations, and romantic frustration bring them constant trouble. Their daily lives turn religious duties into grounded comedy.
