Lolicon and shotacon have been disambiguated. Links with too little context are being removed - "paedo" is not always a trope, examples where the tropeworthiness is unclear are being removed. Also, please do not use "loli" as a synonym for little girl; see Lolicon And Shotacon as to why not

''Strange+'' is a comedy manga series with an anime adaptation that started airing in [[Winter2014Anime the Winter of 2014]].
The plot (such as it is) goes that Kou is searching for his older brother Takumi and finds him working for a detective agency. Kou gets dragged by Takumi into the business and, together with Masamune and Miwa, take whatever jobs come their way, not all of which have necessarily to do with detective work, but all have the commonality of being incredibly bizarre.
The anime adaptation foregoes Kou and Takumi's backstory entirely and drops the viewer into the dynamic of the already established team. Episodes are about four minutes long.
A second season is set to premiere in [[Summer2014Anime Summer]].

* {{Fanservice}}: At the beginning and end of each episode, there are cards showing characters in fetish-y situations.
* GagSeries
* OlderThanTheyLook: Takumi looks about 12 but is older than his brother Kou who's 18 and looks his age.
* ShipTease: Kou and Kiyoko.
** UptownGirl: She's a rich girl and he is an incompetent detective (?) forced to commute with 3 other people.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Takumi.
