Shikatsushi: Jô-oh no hôigaku(2013)

Shikatsushi: Jô-oh no hôigaku is a Japanese drama series following Kiriyama Yuki, an unconventional forensic science professor who excels at uncovering the true causes of unnatural deaths. Despite her brilliance, Yuki struggles with her reputation as an eccentric—her unkempt appearance and tomboyish demeanor set her apart in her male-dominated field. The series tracks her investigations alongside her research student Inukai Hajime and a skeptical police detective, Murakami Mamoru, who frequently clashes with her methods. As Yuki pursues the truth behind suspicious deaths, she must navigate both the scientific mysteries before her and the social prejudices that define her workplace, blending procedural investigation with character-driven drama.
