Gifted

At 17 years old, high school student Yuuya Shiki can see something nobody else can — marks on people who've killed. Not metaphorical guilt, not a vague feeling. Actual visible markers on murderers, clear as day to him and invisible to everyone else. He's been quietly carrying this ability around with no idea what it means or where it came from. Then a complicated murder case brings him into contact with Natsuki Amakusa, a 20-year-old detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who's sharp enough to recognize what Yuuya can do — and immediately wants him as a partner. That's the setup, and it's a good one. The show runs as a TV series adapted from a shoujo manga, which means underneath the criminal investigations there's a real focus on the relationship between these two and how they figure each other out over time. The cases are the engine, but Yuuya's power and its origins are the slow-burn mystery threading everything together. If you liked the procedural tension of Psycho-Pass or the way Death Note builds dread around someone who can see things others can't, this sits in familiar territory while keeping its own quieter, more grounded tone. It's not flashy — it's the kind of show where the atmosphere does the heavy lifting. Set for 2027, so it's worth keeping on your radar if detective stories with a supernatural edge are your thing.
