Who's your pretty boy?
A mysterious group known as the Pretty Boy Detective Club is rumored to solve (and perhaps cause) most of the trouble at Yubiwa Academy -- in a strictly unofficial, undercover, uncommercial capacity, of course.

Sep 03, 2021Overall, if youve yet to experiencePretty Boy Detective Clubin any form then this manga proves a perfectly adequate starting point. However, existing fans may find it distracting, given how different the cast look and, as fun as this initial story is in the medium, Im not sure the series, on the whole, is all that promising with so few volumes left to cover the future content.

Jun 18, 2025Overall, this is a very fluffy, fun story where the magic and cleverness of youth will most likely win out in the most dangerous of situations, and everyone will feel good at the end of the day. There is a bit of an air of Sherlock Holmes-esque cleverness to figuring out the mystery, where several of the boys draw conclusions that the audience couldn't possibly have followed until it was all pointed out, but that's part of the charm. The five main boy characters, having a rule to embrace their boyish nature, are whimsical and rakish at times. Expect everything be visually appealing and drawn perfectly, especially the abundance of beautiful male characters running about, but this definitely more of a dessert story than anything to expect any sort of substance from.
