Gosick (2011)

Kujo was the third son of a Japanese imperial soldier. he was transfered to a new academy in a small European country, where urban legends n horror stories were the center of the attention. he met with Victorique, a mysterious girl with a brilliant mind. she never came to class, nor left the library tower. after being her friend, Kujo was exposed to many mysterious cases that was easily solved by Victorique. sometimes going as far as putting their life in danger. but as time passed, their friendship deepened while his ability too increased.

Victorique, despite looking beautifully young n innocent, owned an impressively strong personality; while Kujo, though having the story circled around him, was more like a secondary character, or even her assistant. the cases that they were exposed to, were not child's play, which most of them even the detective was having trouble figuring out. therefore sometimes put them in a life n death situation. even though all these sounded serious, the anime managed to make it felt light at appropriate timing, adding humor n softening Victorique's character by making her felt at ease with Kujo, thus showing sides she usually wouldn't with the others. despite the stern expressions, she was just a teenager with an attitude.
