Puppet Master Sakon

Finished

人形草紙あやつり左近

Tachibana Sakon is a timid young man from a Bunraku puppet family who travels from place to place with his partner Ukon, a masterpiece puppet made in the early Meiji period. While Sakon is shy and reserved, Ukon is loud and talkative, often cracking jokes and chatting about pop stars. Despite his quiet demeanor, Sakon undergoes a dramatic transformation when he holds Ukon, becoming a calm, observant, and calculating detective.

Together with his policewoman aunt Kaoruko, Sakon and Ukon unravel seemingly perfect crimes. Using his deep understanding of human nature—taught by his grandfather that controlling a puppet means reading the heart—Sakon puts himself in the shoes of both criminals and victims to see through their plots. This uncanny duo solves a variety of difficult and mysterious cases, from gruesome murders in abandoned schools to other baffling incidents, revealing the truth hidden behind each crime.
