A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics will follow Sosuke Kaburaya, a not-so-well-off detective. During an assignment, he will encounter Sara Da Odin, a princess from a mystical world. Sara will start living with Sosuke and acclimating herself to life in Gifu, Japan. Next, Livia Do Udis, another visitor from the magical world, will join them.

This is a comedy-isekai story, based on the light novel writer Yomi Hirasaka’s work. Hirasaka is also known for works such as Haganai and A Sister's All You Need, both of which have been very well-received.
