Undead Girl Murder Farce is a comedic supernatural mystery that begins with the mysterious arrival of two mysterious detectives to a French vampire's estate. In a world where demons and humans coexist a little less than peacefully, the vampire lord's wife was murdered and police have refused to get involved. However, a strange detective known as the "cage user" has arrived to investigate. 

This manga had a very interesting concept. I'm a huge fan of detective stories, and whenever I see a detail-focused investigator in a story use little clues the rest would mix to get the whole story, I know I'm sure to like the character and be intrigued! However, in this case, it didn't extend to the rest of the story. There was a lot of talking and walking and not a lot of action, and after the killer was revealed (predictably and at an odd point in the plot) I found I didn't care about any of the characters enough for it to be a huge shock. The cliffhanger was slightly intriguing, and I might continue if the opportunity presents itself.
