The original manga is currently serialized in Young Animal (Hakusensha). Six volumes have been released so far, with total circulation surpassing 400,000 copies. Yen Press publishes an official English version and describes the story as follows:
Forty-year-old detective Eiji Kirisame has found maybe the strangest witness of his life: a silent high school girl named Tsugumi Kuchinashi who was at the scene of the crime. Her statements mostly consist of shoddy doodles on a drawing pad, but Eiji is no stranger to piecing together the truth from limited evidence—and besides, it seems like Tsugumi might have a knack for deduction! So he’ll take every page seriously if it might help solve the case. But, uh, does that last page really say…“Marry me?”?!
