** During "In the Corner of the Galaxy", [[spoiler: despite being proven that it's the professor who stole the alien picture, the professor still believes that he didn't do anything wrong based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonbar_hinge Jonbar Hinge]] theory. Cue Mizuhara Kana slapping his face for trying to cover it for his own benefit and accused for being the thief.]]

* NoSocialSkills: As a result, Sou [[NotGoodWithPeople often incidentally angers other people]], but that's because he just doesn't know any better. [[spoiler:Kana helps him get over it, though.]]

In doing so the two form a genuine friendship and the series follows them as they repeatedly [[TheyFightCrime stumble into crimes or are ask to investigate mysteries.]]

* TheyFightCrime: Though mostly by Kana's insistence.

''Q.E.D. Shōmei Shūryō'', usual shortened to Q.E.D., is a {{manga}} series written by Motohiro Katou and first began serialization in July 1997 and still going strong to this day. Initially published in ''Magazine Plus'', the series is now featured in ''Magazine R'' under the title ''Q.E.D. iff'' following the Magazine Plus publication's cancellation.[[note]] Fun fact: it was litteraly the 99th chapter before the magazine cancellation, technically making the first of the new series the [[MilestoneCelebration 100th chapter]].[[/note]]

One of the most notable aspects about the series is its taking advantage of Sou's status as a TeenGenius; every chapter has him explaining in [[ShownTheirWork (accurate)]] detail one of number of advance subjects revolving around mathematics, cosmology, engineering and a whole host of other subjects as related the current case. This makes for a double edge sword as translating the manga proves difficult leading to slow releases in English and other languages.
