''Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider'' is a mystery novel with HardScienceFiction elements by MORI Hiroshi. Since its initial publishing in 1996, it has since received critical acclaim won a multitude of awards and has been graced with numerous adaptations, including a J-drama in 2014 and an anime adaptation a year after by Creator/A1Pictures.

The plot deals with Sōhei Saikawa, a member of the Saikawa Research Lab. He goes on a vacation held by the lab, and Moe Nishinosono, the daughter of his mentor, joins the group on their vacation despite not being a part of the lab. There, the two end up finding a corpse. The two work together to solve the mysteries of what becomes a serial murder case.

----
* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: In the anime, pretty much everything robotic, like Michiru or the P1s, as well as miscellaneous things like water or smoke.
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Saikawa has shades of this, notably being completely oblivious to Moe's increasingly unsubtle advances on him or his numerous eccentricities.
* ArcNumber: 15. [[spoiler:It's F in hexadecimal, which ties in into the PunBasedTitle, and Dr. Magata was 15 when she killed her parents]].
* ArcWords: ''Everything Becomes F''.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Magata's view of humanity and reality itself can be surmised as this.
* CreepyMonotone: Magata's speech patterns.
* CuteMachines: Michiru in the anime is built to slightly resemble a teddy bear, resulting in this trope.
* DoesNotLikeSpam:
-->'''Saikawa:''' There are three things in this world I simply cannot eat. Red bean jam, roasted soy flour and...
-->'''Nishinosono:''' Watermelon.
* LockedRoomMystery: Magata's murder is perplexing to the characters because ''there is no way in or out of the room''.
* MayDecemberRomance: Magata and her uncle. [[spoiler:She was 13 while her uncle was a middle-aged man when they started having sex.]]
* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: There are some light science fiction elements in the story, mostly dealing with anything in Magata's laboratory. However, they're not particularly outlandish and they seem a lot more mundane and plausible now than when the novel was originally published in 1996.
* ObliviousToLove: Saikawa, increasingly so as the series progresses.
* PunBasedTitle[=/=]GeniusBonus: The title (and ArcWords) of the title is something of an elaborate programming pun. [[spoiler:FFFF, or 65,535, is the largest value that can be held by an unsigned two-byte integer, and Dr. Magata exploited this to create a deliberate bug in Red Magic's time-keeping modules, resulting in a missing piece of video recording that could have shown her escaping from the laboratory]].
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Shiki Magata was not the murder victim, she was the murderer. The corpse that sets off the mystery is not Shiki, it was her daughter.]]
* {{Rotoscoping}}: In the opening.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Plenty of them.
* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: Dr. Magata's Michiru, a small, cute robot whose purpose is to [[MundaneUtility lock and unlock doors.]]
* SpeechCentricWork: Most of the runtime is taken up by dialogue, either relevant to the plot or completely [[SeinfeldianConversation Seinfeldian]].
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: The conversation between Saikawa and Shiki's sister, who still had her Japanese accent despite having lived in America for years. [[spoiler: She is actually Shiki in disguise, which explains the accent.]]
* TitleDrop: For at least the ''Everything Becomes F'' part, during the opening conversation. The anime, however, cut it down and the first one is when they find a note saying "Everything Becomes F" in Dr. Magata's computer.
