Where it came from
Deka Wanko, written and illustrated by Kozueko Morimoto, began its serialization in the Japanese manga magazine Chorus in 2008. The series follows the comedic and endearing adventures of Ichiko Hanamori, a fashion-obsessed police detective who solves crimes using her exceptional sense of smell, which she shares with her beloved pet dog. Morimoto, well-regarded for her ability to blend humor with character-driven narratives, aimed to subvert the traditional tropes of the gritty police procedural by placing a whimsical, stylish protagonist at the center of serious investigations.
The manga gained significant popularity for its lighthearted tone and unique visual style, leading to a successful live-action television adaptation in 2011. Critics and readers alike praised the series for its charm and the contrast between the protagonist’s high-fashion wardrobe and the mundane rigors of police work. The success of the printed volumes solidified Morimoto's reputation as a versatile creator, and the series remains a notable example of the police-comedy genre within the josei manga demographic.
