I am the sort of person who is capable of unironically enjoying something called “Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok.” It is about how the Norse god Loki did something bad and got banished from Asgard to modern-day Japan, in the form of a seven-year-old-boy, ordered to dispel the demons of darkness from human hearts, which he is to accomplish by opening a detective agency.

This premise was selected by means of throwing darts at someone’s manga collection.

Lol. I have the anime. I enjoy it. I laugh, but I enjoy it.

I have yet to watch any of the anime, but I've been struggling through the Japanese version of the manga, despite all the totally incomprehensible pop culture jokes in there. I've asked two teachers to explain something Narukami says in volume 4, and they can't figure it out...

That sounds amazing.

It is! Also Loki wears froofy lacy clothes and enjoys ice cream.

Well, it helps that the author only treats the premise with the seriousness it deserves (I love how Fenris and the Midgard Serpent are just hangin' out with dad all casual-like). If it was all overwrought Gothic like Earl Cain or something, then there might be a problem...

I think I haven't gotten to Fenris yet, but I am concerned about the Serpent's relationship with his father. It seems kind of dysfunctional to call your Dad "sama."
