Time Tripping With The Soaking Wet Detective

Sakurako Ohara as Hagoromo
Just started watching Bishonure Tantei Mizuno Hagoromo, a time traveling drama with a new twist!
Hagoromo (Sakurako Ohara)  is a college student who on the surface seems like your average school girl.  She does well in school and enjoys going for snacks with her best friend Yan (Yao Pipi) like any other student, but in truth, she is a bit more unusual than your average teenager!
For one, she lives in a gaudy Love Hotel run by her eccentric father Shingo where wacky shenanigans are always going on!
Her older brother Junnosuke (Yuma Yamoto)  runs a Detective Agency out of one room, and though he actually isn’t very good at his job, he has a secret weapon!
When we tune in, Junnosuke is interviewing a client...
Junnosuke takes down the notes and tells the client he’ll get on it right away…but once the customer is gone, he goes right to Hagoromo and begs her to take a look at the case!
The crime happened two weeks ago and the only way to find out who committed it was to somehow see who was there at the time of the theft. And it’s here we learn Hagoromo’s shocking secret- when she gets completely deluged in water, she can JUMP BACK IN TIME!
All she needs to do is concentrate of the date and time she needs to be and then, with a confident, “Do it NOW, Oniichan!” Junnosuke absolutely DRENCHES her with a bucket of water…and then she wakes up IN THE PAST!
Going back in time is a nifty gift to have, unfortunately, this means she spends all her time detecting completely wet, making her chilly and garnering laughs from strangers!
She makes her way to the scene of the crime and, hiding out, spies on the goings on til she has some idea of what happened.
Once she has done her sleuthing, it only takes another bucket of water (which she reluctantly self-administers) to send her back to the present!
Here she uses what she learned to get to the heart of the crime and solve the mystery!!! 
These teenage comedy time traveling dramas are certainly becoming a THING lately, but this has to be one of the more original time-jump devices yet! And while the case itself admittedly isn’t too interesting, its so much fun watching Hagoromo sneaking about in the past trying to figure things out!
This is a real fun one!
