In the first episode of Gosick, we are introduced to the main character, Kazuya Kujo, a transfer student at St. Marguerite Academy in the fictional European country of Sauville. Kazuya is a tall, dark-haired boy with a kind heart and a deep interest in the occult.
On his first day at the academy, Kazuya finds himself drawn to the library, where he meets the enigmatic and brilliant Victorique de Blois. Victorique is a petite girl with long blonde hair, sharp intellect, and a sharp tongue. She is infamous at the academy for being a recluse and speaking only when spoken to.
Despite her reputation, Kazuya is drawn to her and strikes up a conversation. Victorique dismisses him at first, but when he shows her a mysterious artifact he found on school grounds, she becomes intrigued and agrees to help him investigate.
Together, Kazuya and Victorique delve into the mysterious disappearance of a local girl named Cordelia Gallo. The evidence suggests that Cordelia was murdered, but there are no leads as to who the killer might be.
As they investigate, Kazuya and Victorique are drawn deep into the dark history of Sauville, uncovering secrets and untangling a web of lies and deceit that threatens to unravel the entire country.
The first episode of Gosick sets the tone for the series, establishing the relationship between Kazuya and Victorique and introducing the complex and fascinating world of Sauville. The bond between the two characters is central to the plot, and we see hints of the dynamic that will drive the series forward.
Overall, this is a strong start to what promises to be an intriguing and engaging anime.
