Summary:

Kamijou Haruta (Saito Soma) is a sharp but reserved young man who plays the french horn. Homura Chika (Sarah Emi Bridcutt) is a lively but impulsive young girl who plays the flute. Together, they fight crime! What, they look just like normal anime high school students? Well yes; they're childhood friends together in the school's wind instrument club, which is on the verge of being closed due to lack of membership. So they're mostly preoccupied with either their club or recruiting members to save it—that is, until a grotesque incident occurs at their school. The two decide to solve this mystery together. What was I telling you? Together they're HaruChika, and they fight crime!

Own opinion:

So, the school band is Hibike! Euphonium. The mystery on campus is Hyouka. And I think the two leads are crushing on the same older guy so, er, Cardcaptor Sakura? Musically curious magical girls? Probably not that last one, but Hibike Euphonium plus Hyouka sounds about right. And that what makes it exciting!! I'm actually hyped for this one but I also have a 50/50 feeling on it. I suspect the love triangle will get worked, the music will be one big metaphor, and the mystery will provide conflict. Its also P.A. Works so I'm expecting another drama specially in the romance part. If everything sums properly, we should have some quality anime on our hands.
