What is Your Forma about?
Your Forma anime is based on the cyberpunk mystery light novel series of the same title (Japanese: Yua Foruma) by Mareho Kikuishi and illustrated by Tsubata Nozaki. The sci-fi series began publication under ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint in March 2021, and as of August 2023, six volumes have been published. It also received a manga adaptation illustrated by Yoshinori Kisaragi, which was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace magazine from June 2021 to September 2023, with its chapters collected into three volumes.
Yen Press, which licensed the light novel series and manga in English, shared a description for Your Forma:
In an alternate near future, the Your Forma , a miraculous “smart thread” technology initially developed to treat a massive outbreak of viral encephalitis, has become an integral part of daily life. But these convenient devices also record every sight, sound, and emotion their users experience. For Electronic Investigator Echika Hieda, diving into peoples' memories via the Your Forma and hunting for evidence is all part of a day's work. The problem is, she's so adept at what she does that her assistants literally fry their brains trying to keep up with her. After putting one too many aides in the hospital, the top brass finally furnish Echika with a partner on her level, a brilliant yet cheeky android named Harold Lucraft. But can Echika put her prejudices against robots aside to solve the most complex case of her career?
