They Fight Crime is no longer a trope


When DistressedDamsel Kanae Hiranuma finds her sleep disturbed by a man with an axe under her bed, she [[WhoYouGonnaCall follows a tip]] from an [[TheInternet internet]] chatroom and pays a visit to the [[OccultDetective Allegory Detective]], Daisuke Asou. Asou reveals that she has been possessed by an allegory, an UrbanLegend that turns its content into reality and haunts the people who believe in it. With the help of Hanako of the Toilet, a benign allegory possessing him who assists him in hunting allegories, Asou [[BigDamnHeroes rescues]] Kanae. In thanks, Kanae becomes Asou's assistant, and the [[TheyFightCrime three of them tackle the myriad allegory cases that come their way]], while a deeper mystery of Asou's true nature slowly unfolds.
