Seikimatsu Tantei Club is dedicated to the very gay and very passionate love of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. It's blatantly based on Conan Doyle's work, and many of his characters make appearances throughout the story. In fact, the main story is split into three sub-stories -- each one focusing on a different aspect of the Holmes/Watson relationship.The first story is titled Paris Fin de Siècle, and is a light-hearted introduction to our protagonists. There's a little fluff, a little humor, a sardonic reunion with Arsène Lupin, and a sexually charged scene of boot-licking. (Actual boot-licking. Not the metaphorical kind!) There are also fabulous kisses, cross-dressing criminals and unusual confessions. No smut so far, though. That comes later on. Oh, yes.The last two stories are based on actual Conan Doyle plots. The second story is based on and named after The Adventure of the Three Garridebs, and the third is similarly inspired by A Scandal in Bohemia. It's wonderful to see Conan Doyle re-interpreted through a yaoi mangaka's eyes! It's particularly rewarding to see Holmes undergo a paradigm shift after Watson is shot in The Three Garridebs; Holmes realizes that he can't take the good doctor for granted anymore, and that his old friend has become so much more than a friend to him.

It's the early 20th century. Foreign exchange student Ichiro Yamada has come to live at a boarding house run by the handsome young aristocrat Albert Thatree. For some reason, incidents haunt them everywhere they go. They solve cases with Al's clear mind and Ichiro's ability to take action and his intuition, but these two begin to form a bond that goes beyond friendship...!? A mystery romance set in England begins!
