What is the plot of Ameku Takao's Detective Karte?

The story primarily focuses on Takao Ameku, a genius doctor-detective, who works as the Head of the Investigative Pathology Department and vice director of Tenikai General Hospital. Using her medical expertise and vast knowledge, coupled with her exceptional analytical and deductive capabilities, Takao takes on and solves cases that even the police find difficult to pinpoint.

In the first couple of episodes, Takao tackled and solved the case of a man with "blue blood", whose leg was seemingly bitten off by an abnormally large animal. In fact, she simply used her observational and deductive skills to solve the case in a few hours, which would have undoubtedly taken the police weeks, if not months to solve.

With a simplistic yet intriguing premise, Mikito Chinen's series presents a unique combination of medical, mystery, and detective elements that keep audiences at the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for the upcoming episode 4 of the Ameku Takao's Detective Karte anime, which will be aired in Japan on January 23, 2025.
