Detective Yoshitaro Katayama is afraid of many things: heights, dark spaces, blood and ... women. When a young female student is found murdered, he's given two choices—review the harrowing crime-scene photographs or head to Hagoromo Women's College to investigate—and reluctantly opts for the latter.

Critic reviews
“This sophisticated series debut packs the offbeat winsomeness of The Thursday Murder Club, the exotic charm of a travelogue, the animal magnetism of Remarkably Bright Creatures, and the odd-couple appeal of your favorite buddy-cop TV drama... but most and best of all, A Game of Cat and Killer is F-U-N—high-spirited, big-hearted, and splendidly light on its four feet. Think Agatha Christie with claws.”
