Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation poster

Sakurako Kujo is an osteologist — she studies bones — and her hobby is finding and reassembling skeletons she discovers in nature. She is accompanied on these expeditions by a high school boy named Shotaro, who has appointed himself her handler and spends most of their time together preventing her from taking human remains home. When they find suspicious bones, Sakurako reads them the way others read text: with total accuracy and zero social grace. A mystery drama that is visually stunning, animated with extraordinary care, and anchored by a protagonist who is the most unsettling version of the brilliant-detective archetype.
