Kimi wa Nazotoki no Ma Chérie

You can't help but think of these stories about female detectives in a rapidly modernizing Tokyo together. Usotoki Rhetoric takes places during the heady Taisho era, whereas Kimi wa Nazotoki Ma Cherie takes place in the early Showa. The detective duos have a reversed dynamic as well with UR having the woman as the assistant (with special powers) and KwNMC having our spunky modern woman as the capable detective, but both have a compassionate outlook towards people and a budding romance with their male partner. There's even an adorable cat in both. If you like one, you should try the other.
Not only both share similar premise of a detective duo solving mysteries in a historical era Japan with a female main character, the dynamic of the detective and assistant is similar too. Both has the more laid-back and mysterious male characte alongside the more serious female MC. The mystery aspect is also similar in which they are more on the simpler side. The cases are things that can be found in everyday setting, showing more sensitivity and most times with heartwarming conclusions.
