MC Female Detectives are quite rare. Here's a collection of them.
Some are less realistic detectives, e.g. in a magic show.
Only the most prevalent anime (meaning an anime not difficult to find) that they are an MC in is included in this list. This excludes sequels and such.

A curated list of series and shorts that span no more than 15 minutes, but satisfies your entertainment all the same. Arranged in color-coordinated rows because nothing makes lists look more appealing than a uniform order, trust me.

This stack is dedicated to shoujo and josei anime in the action genre or with strong elements of it. Of course, including original anime for a female audience without any clear targeting.
