We Never Learn Creator Launches New Manga in Shonen Jump

Key Takeaways

  • New manga by Tsutsui features detective Syd Craft seeking love instead of solving mysteries. (112 characters)
  • Tsutsui’s previous work, Bokuben, differs from Syd Craft, now serialized in Shonen Jump. (92 characters)
  • Fans may anticipate a potential harem in Syd Craft and look forward to a new series from the author. (109 characters)

As a long-time fan of Taishi Tsutsui’s works, I must admit that his latest creation, Syd Craft: Love is a Mystery, has left me utterly intrigued! While I have grown accustomed to the author’s knack for crafting enchanting mystery stories (thanks to Bokuben), it’s refreshing to see him delve into a new genre with such finesse.


A fresh manga from creator Taishi Tsutsui is currently being published in Shonen Jump. In his author’s note, Tsutsui shared his intention to put in a lot of effort to offer readers an abundance of intriguing mysteries.

In the gaming world, I’ve just stumbled upon an intriguing new tale titled “Syd Craft: Love is a Riddle“. This isn’t your typical detective story, oh no! Syd Craft, our renowned sleuth, can crack most cases with ease. But what truly captivates him isn’t the allure of mysteries; it’s the elusive pursuit of love. A realm he finds himself utterly baffled in. It’s not that his dates end up as victims or suspects, rather they seem to arrange meetings with him, merely to create an alibi for themselves.

Bokuben: We Never Learn

The author’s most famous work is very different from this new one

Taishi Tsutsui is predominantly recognized for his work on the manga titled “We Never Learn” or “Bokuben,” which he serialized from 2017 until 2020. Unlike his current projects, “Bokuben” stands out due to its high school setting and harem genre. The story revolves around a character named Nariyuki Yuiga who is tasked with tutoring three intelligent girls, each struggling in subjects other than their areas of genius. Initially, Yuiga takes up this role to secure a university scholarship.

In essence, he’s responsible for instructing a variety of subjects to these students. By day’s end, he effectively covers all topics taught. However, an intriguing twist unfolds: as the days pass, all the young ladies start harboring feelings for him, and he finds himself reciprocating their affections. The choice of who he ultimately ends up with is left to the reader’s interpretation.

The anime adaptation of Bokuben was produced by studios Silver Link and Arvo Animation. The script was penned by Go Zappa, who has previously worked on animations like Ahiru no Sora, Moriarty the Patriot, and Kengan Ashura. Yoshiaki Iwasaki oversaw the direction of this series, a role he is well-known for having performed in other works such as Miss Monochrome The Animation and Escha & Logy no Atelier.

Syd Craft offers a fresh perspective compared to the popular “Bokuben,” which might excite fans as they witness Tsutsui venturing into uncharted territory. Nevertheless, at its core, both narratives revolve around romance, so readers who appreciate Tsutsui’s character and relationship development may have some expectations for this series (and it seems a potential harem could be in the works as early as chapter 1). However, we will need to wait and see what direction the story takes, starting off as a mystery comedy with a lively tone.

Syndicate Craft’s manga “Love is a Mystery” can be found on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump from Viz Media. The manga titled “Bokuben” in English, has its anime adaptation licensed by Aniplex of America.
