(06/???) Completed: CRIMINOLOGIST HIMURA AND MYSTERY WRITER ARISUGAWA

Rinsho Hanzai Gakusha Himura Hideo no Suiri a.k.a Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa

Easily my favourite Sherlock and Holmes adaptation, with two of my favourite actors. It wasn't about the crimes, or indeed the investigation but the chemistry between them.

[mxliv-oftheendless]

Am I writing a Ballet AU for Arisu x Chishiya featuring Alice Arisugawa and Hideo Himura as a background bickering couple?? Why yes, yes I am.

[ismagulnitatay]

I need more Japanese crime/mystery dramas to watch. God damn. Istg, the bromance in them is just so chef's kiss. We love our crime-solving duos.

[whump-lover-and-reader]

Hi do you have any japanese show recommendations that have whumps like you police one or the tokyo mer one?

Hello! First of all, I am so honored that someone asked me for recommendations, truly. Sorry it took me sometime to respond 🤧

From dramas I've made a list for, I can recommend you to check out (if you haven't already) MIU 404, S: Saigo no Keikan, Security Police, and BG: Personal Bodyguard.

From others that I've watched and really like to recommend: Avalanche (really great stuff honestly), Associate Professor Takatsuki Akira's Guess (mystery + fantasy), Miman Keisatsu: Midnight Runner (epicest bromance ever, both get whumped like no tomorrow), Kei x Yaku: Abunai Aibou (haven't seen that one but heard good stuff abt it).

Something with minimal whump but I still recommend watching just for the characters/story: Criminologist Hideo Himura and Mystery writer Arisugawa (sweetest friendship and intriguing plot, there's whump in last 2 eps), ST Aka to Shiro no Sousa File (really fun cast, also whump in last ep).

Also right now I'm making a list for On: Special Agent Hinako Todo (both male and female whump, if that's your cup of tea).

[rouzuchan]

started watching “criminologist himura and mystery writer arisugawa” and— I DID NOT EXPECT RYO YOSHIZAWA TO BE HERE!! Agh, my fixation for Japanese male actors is really bothering (￣^￣)ゞ

THEY’RE IN THE SAME FRAME AGABAGSJBSNAGAGHHHH

Some favourite “Himura x Alice” moments from Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa 2019: Hunter's Nightmare.

[menaso]

Whump of July 2021.

Day 1: Stabbed.

Fandom: criminologist Himura and mystery writer Arisugawa.

Characters: Himura, Alice (yes it's a guy name)

Warning: blood.

The criminal's face twisted with panic.

Beautiful.

The closer he moves, the closer his goal seems to be.

Soon the criminal's neck will be between his hands. Unlike those stupid amateur, Himura knows how to break a neck, fast and clean.

The sensation felt real, the crack of the bones, the warmth of the skin, and the last breath.

How wonderful that can be?

Sooner. Closer.

"Himura," Alice shouted. Something was off. He felt that he missed something, which was unlike him.

Facing him wasn’t the criminal, but Alice's pained, greaves expressions.

"Idiot" he yelled, gripping his grey coat "Himura you fool"

As the rush of intespation evabrated, Himura came to realize the scene unfolding in front of him.

Not far away, two police officers held the criminal down as he struggled, his face red with the effort shouting incoherently.

Bewildered, he mattered the first thing that came to his mind.

"Alice!"

"Arisugawa-sensei" his voice was entangled with Ono’s.

Coming back to his senses, Himura saw a knife stained with blood scattered on the ground, his eyes widening.

"Finally you're back" said Alice softly in relief as he searched Himura's face tentatively "don't you ever do that again, moron" he didn't smile as he would usually do, his face filled with emotions that difficult to describe, he even looked as if he about to cry, but then his eyes scrunched, face twisting with pain, he leaned closer.

Ono was behind him, eyes full of shock.

"Call the ambulance," Inspector Nabeshima shouted as he ran toward them.

At this Himura pulled Alice closer, his mind rushing, fear growing in him, fears that were answered by a rupture and darkness, yawning into Alice's favorite brown jacket.

"Alice" he murmured in disbelief, spontaneously slowing Alice collapsing. Both on their knees Himura warped his arms around the writer, pressing the wound with both hands. Alice rested his chin on Himura's left shoulder.

People rushed around them but Himura couldn't hear anything over his hammering heart. Alice in his arms relaxing, he wrapped his arms around His waist, planting his fingers on his back.

“I told you never show the police that face, moron,” Alice whispered. There was an edge to his voice that pulled the strings of Himura’s heart and threw him back to Alice’s apartment. To the rainy night after they discover the third victim of the (night prowler), the rush of the excitement in his blood and the intespation, and Alice watchful eyes behind his overgrown bangs.

“never show the police that face” he warned.

“Ah” Himura assured. He was good at hiding his blood lust for years. Was he overconfident?

“Sorry” he whispered, his voice sounded small and foreign.

"Don't apologise, how unlike you" Himura could sense a smile in his voice. He pulled him closer.

“Alice,” he called.

Perhaps this is an illusion, a new format of his usual dreams and he eventually will wake up just like every night and there will be no trace of blood in his hands.

But Alice’s blood was too warm, too real, oozing stubbornly between his fingers.

Someone handed him a towel, Yasuda-San perhaps, and he immediately pressed it over the wound, tension sat in his stomach like a stone.

Yasuda-San sat at his side asking Alice how he was feeling.

"It doesn't hurt as I thought it would," Alice murmured.

"It's the adrenaline, Sensei,” said the older man.

Alice chuckled and started talking about using this experience in his next novel or something like that, Yasuda-San monitoring him and laughing at something he said. Ono scolded them nervously and the inspector tried to calm her down.

“No worry Komachi, I'm tougher than I appear to be,” Alice joked. And she sighed “you better to be”

Himura knows, Alice tends to joke and be talkative than usual when he is nervous or afraid. Like when they held an investigation on their own, walking in a dark forest or abandoned building, he would keep talking about some theories, discussing other similar cases, then at the slightest noise he would jump in fright and clutches Himura's coat, as he now clung on to him.

Himura felt nauseous as the towel turned dark red, he knew the best action was to lay Alice down and press the wound as hard as he could, but he had no heart to do so, not when Alice was clinging on to his coat like a lifeline.

"Himura, do you remember.."

"no Sensei," Himura immediately cut him off "we are not going there"

Alice chuckled "you're right, no rising any death flags" his jock served to punch The criminologist’s heart.

"but, you know," he continues, voice growing concernedly weaker "it's the first time we been this close for this long"

He was right. Himura couldn't recall an event when they were clinging together for this long, but that doesn't mean they never were close, fourteen years of friendship blurred the border of their personal space. Alice, although friendly and social, was too considerate to initiate a touch. While he took every opportunity to pat the shorter man's head, and hold him every time he became emotionally involved in a case -which happened more often-.

If you want to, we can be close for as long as you like.

He wanted to say, but this could be considered a death flag as well, so Himura kept it for himself.

Alice groaned "I'm taking back my words" he murmured as he tightened his grip "it's hurt like hell."

"Hold on Sensei," someone said, Yasuda-San or maybe Nabeshima-San? "the ambulance is on its way"

Alice's head slumped to the side of Himura's face, and Himura wished that his cold skin was due to October's wind.

Alice's soft silky hair brushed against his cheek, and its scent solved the mystery disappearances of his shampoo. On other occasions he will interrogate the writer until he speaks the truth, but right now he really doesn't care even if he stole all of his belongings.

Alice graw quieter, and his grip became looser.

"Alice, stay awake" Himura was surprised by how shaky his voice.

"Don't ask for impossibles" Alice whispered, an involuntary groan escaped his clenched teeth.

Alice's voice, Alice's warm blood between his hands was sickening. He didn't have a memory of himself crying, not even when he was a child, but now, a lump grows in his throat, hard to swallow. He felt guilt welling up in his chest.

It’s ridiculous to feel guilty, he knows, and if Alice knew he would mock him mercilessly “Old age smoothed your sharp edges Sensei” he would say. Quickly, Himura choked the emotion, he will never give Alice this chance.

“Alice-chan” Yasuda-san called “stay with us”

Alice hummed a weak reply, then pressed his forehead on Himura’s shoulder. He was trembling.

The air felt thin and something heavy was bearing down on his chest, something unbearably suffocating.

What if, drifted across his mind, like a dark mist.

“Himura” Alice’s voice was mournful and Himura wanted him to stop.

“Forgive me”

He felt his very soul split into two. He hated that he could hear the rest of the sentence.

Forgive me if I’m no longer able to watch over you.

“Don’t be overdramatic Sensei” he pressed Alice against him.

It’s becoming hard to breathe.

“Don’t make it hard for me to fulfil my promise”

I’ll never put you in danger, never again.

What an empty promise.

He felt the other nodding in his shoulder and nuzzling closer. Himura leaned gently against him taking in the dilute scent of his shampoo, everything around them seemed to fall into utter silence.

"Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa" (2016, 2019+)

This tv show is a really good spiritual successor of the original Sherlock Holmes stories. Though the main characters have different names, it is clear who is based on Sherlock (Himura) and who is based on Watson (Arisu). 

This series does an excellent job showing the bond between these two, with the season one finale even having the two attempting to categorize their relationship & settling on an inseparable bond that is strong than friendship. A few minor characters seem to be interested in Himura, but it is always one-sided on their part. The main series is not romantic.

The first season is streaming on Amazon, but the second is still not available officially. This thread here talks about season two (no spoilers listed)

Added!
