Suteki Tantei Labyrinth

Fantastic Detective Labyrinth (素敵探偵☆ラビリンス, Suteki Tantei Labyrinth?) is a manga series written by Meito Manjō and illustrated by Seiji Wakayama, published in Kodansha's Magazine Special.
The manga was adapted into an animated television series in 2007. The Studio Deen production aired on TV Tokyo from October 2, 2007 March 25, 2008, totaling 25 episodes.
Thirty years prior to the events of the series, the city of Tokyo was destroyed in a massive earthquake. From the ruins of the former megalopolis, Kyuto was established. In this new city, supernatural occurrences are progressively increasing and the only one capable of unraveling them is Hyuuga Mayuki, a boy detective and esper.

He has never attended school before and appears to be a genius in all subjects with the exception of physical education.
