The ability to create miracles is not just a supernatural phenomenon; it is a gift which manifests in a limited number of human beings. "Minimum," or small miracles, are special powers that only selected people called "Minimum Holders" possess.

AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalWhen miracles become murder weapons, two teen detectives must solve the case that hits home.
In a world where a handful of people can wield "Minimum"—tiny, reality‑bending miracles—Yokohama’s most unconventional detectives turn their powers into a business. Nice, a charismatic teen with a knack for gadgets, partners with the stoic, telekinetic Murasaki, and together they run Hamatora, a makeshift agency out of a cramped table in the enigmatic Café Nowhere. Their clientele ranges from petty thieves to corporate moguls, each case a showcase of how ordinary life collides with the extraordinary. When a string of murders begins targeting Minimum Holders, the duo’s light‑hearted investigations take a darker turn. Their old friend Art, a diligent police officer, is on the hunt for the elusive serial killer, and every clue seems to pull Nice deeper into a personal web of secrets. As the body count rises, Hamatora discovers that the killer isn’t just hunting powers—he’s hunting the very people who embody them, and his motives are tangled with Nice’s own hidden past. The series blends slick action set‑pieces with a mystery that forces the protagonists to question the cost of their gifts and the true meaning of being a hero in a city that both celebrates and fears the supernatural.
