We question whether a poet would make a good detective in Woodpecker Detective's Office: Episode 1 with our mystery guest -- teacher, power lifter, and literature enthusiast, Maddy.
This anime series from Spring 2020 casts historical Japanese figures from 1902 Japan in a murder mystery and romance (or is the romance just in Noah's head?) This episode has everything we're looking for: a brothel with paper thin walls, a murder mystery with paper thin plotting, some nice art, and silly pin-ups.

Thank you to our mystery guest, Maddy!
