About Uso Tantei Tomanto
The staff describes the series as a “cute × mystery” anime following Tomanto and friends as they solve various mysteries using their knowledge of vegetables and fruits. The name “Tomanto” is a play on “tomato” and “manto” (the inverness coat iconic of Sherlock Holmes).
The original series debuted on TRAIN TV, a video platform on JR train screens, in October 2025, with episode 26 being the final episode that aired on April 5. All episodes are also available on the TRAIN TV website and YouTube after broadcast.
