Have you seen this? want to / seen some / seen all

Alternative title:
Cuticle Tantei Inaba (Japanese)
キューティクル探偵因幡 (Japanese)
Objectionable content: Significant
Plot Summary: The story revolves around Hiroshi Inaba, a private detective, and part-wolf-part-human being who was created artificially. Hiroshi runs his own detective agency and solves cases with the help of his cross-dressing secretary Yuuta, and Kei, a "relatively normal" teenager. The plot centres on Hiroshi and the gang trying to arrest his arch-nemesis Don Valentino, a mastermind goat with a taste for money (literally).
