Não-go

Enredo

O UN-GO se passa em um futuro Japão distópico. Depois que uma guerra sem nome e vários ataques terroristas finalmente chegam ao continente, o governo japonês decide revogar o artigo 9 da Constituição japonesa e mobiliza suas forças de autodefesa em retaliação. Algum tempo depois, o país devastado pela guerra acaba alcançando um período de paz desconfortável, e o governo japonês passa a "Lei de Privacidade e Proteção da Informação" em nome de interromper o terrorismo e mais ataques contra o país. A Lei concede ao Tech Company Executive Rinroku Kaishou controle sobre uma vasta rede de vigilância que pode analisar dados de quase qualquer dispositivo conectado no país, que ele supostamente usa para combater todo tipo de crime.

A história de On-Go gira em torno de um detetive antiquado chamado Shinjūrō ​​Yuki e seu parceiro sobrenatural Inga. Na superfície, Shinjūrō ​​aparece na cena do crime na hora errada e chega à conclusão errada, ganhando zombaria pública como "o detetive derrotado", em contraste com o heróico Rinroku. No entanto, na verdade, Shinjūrō ​​é frequentemente chamado por Rinroku ou pelo escritório de promotores públicos quando o assunto do caso é muito delicado para o procedimento investigativo normal. Com suas habilidades dedutivas e a habilidade especial de Inga, Shinjūrō ​​sempre se aprofunda para encontrar a verdade do assunto, mesmo quando Rinroku girará sua conclusão para se encaixar em uma narrativa que confortará um público que ainda se recupera da guerra.
