ABEMA is streaming Detective Conan, The Apothecary Diaries, and Higurashi: When They Cry to celebrate Detective Day on May 21. The three titles span classic mystery, palace intrigue, and suspense horror, each offering a different angle on puzzle-solving and deduction.
ABEMA has tied three mystery anime to Detective Day, a May 21 observance in Japan. The selection covers Detective Conan, the long-running shonen detective series; The Apothecary Diaries, a palace mystery built around poison and medicine; and Higurashi: When They Cry, a horror-mystery doujin adaptation. All three are currently available on the platform. The grouping is promotional rather than thematic: each series approaches deduction from a different genre framework.
- Detective Conan: Based on Gosho Aoyama's mystery manga; follows shrunken detective Shinichi Kudo solving cases while pursuing the Black Organization.
- The Apothecary Diaries: Based on Natsu Hyuuga's novel; follows poison taster Maomao solving palace mysteries using her medical and toxicology knowledge.
- Higurashi: When They Cry: Based on Ryukishi07's doujin game; a suspense horror set in Hinamizawa village with layered mysteries and unpredictable developments.
