What to expect from Shoshimin episode 1

The plot centers around Jougorou Kobato and Yuki Osanai. The former once had a bitter experience due to a detective activity called "wisdom work." After that, he takes it upon himself to become a pure and humble citizen. So, in secret, he chooses to enter into a "reciprocal relationship" with his classmate Yuki.

Yuki too had similar aspirations and had plans to make her high school debut as a small-time citizen and live a peaceful life. But, for strange reasons, mysterious happenings and disasters begin to come into their school life in succession.

If Shoshimin episode 1 adapts the source material's initial bits, Case 1 - The Stolen Pochette will soon begin and fans will likely be introduced to Jougorou as he experiences a strange dream. Following his introduction, Yuki too should step into the spotlight as he wakes up and vows to change himself.
