From manga to anime: A Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage

The anime adaptation of A Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage has been announced. Below you'll find the information and a first promo.

Forty-year-old detective Eiji Kirisame has found maybe the strangest witness of his life: a silent high school girl named Tsugumi Kuchinashi who was at the scene of the crime.

A Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage (orig. Pen to Wappa to Jijitsu Kon) is a manga written by Shinichi Sawaragi and illustrated by Tanku Gasuyama, which has been published in Hakusensha's "Young Animal" magazine since 2022 and is currently ongoing.
