What is Your Forma About?
Set in a world ravaged by a viral encephalitis pandemic in 1992, humanity's survival depended on the development of Your Forma — an invasive device implanted into the brain that records every sight, sound, and emotion. In this universe, solving major crimes involves diving into collective data, a task handled by elite detectives known as Electronic Investigators.
The story follows Echika Hieda, a prodigious Electronic Investigator who stands out for her exceptional talent. Her new partner is Harold, a humanoid android called Amicus. Together, they uncover hidden secrets and navigate complex mysteries.
