A TV anime adaptation of the A Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage (Pen to Tejo to Jijitsukon) manga has been announced.
The original manga, written by Shinichi Sawaragi and drawn by Tank Gasuyama, debuted in Hakusensha‘s seinen magazine Young Animal in 2022. Yen Press describes the synopsis as such:
Forty-year-old detective Eiji Kirisame has found maybe the strangest witness of his life: a silent high school girl named Tsugumi Kuchinashi who was at the scene of the crime. Her statements mostly consist of shoddy doodles on a drawing pad, but Eiji is no stranger to piecing together the truth from limited evidence—and besides, it seems like Tsugumi might have a knack for deduction! So he’ll take every page seriously if it might help solve the case. But, uh, does that last page really say…“Marry me?”?!
The manga’s seventh volume will be released on April 28, 2026 in Japan.
