Your Forma is an adaptation of the Dengeki Bunko light novel series written by Mareho Kikuishi and illustrated by Tsubata Nozaki, which won the grand prize at the 27th Dengeki Shousetsu Taishou. Yen Press describes the plot as:
In an alternate 2023, 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 come with an invasive drawback—they record every sight, sound, and even emotion their users experience. For electronic investigator Echika Hieda, diving into peoples’ memories via the Your Forma and hunting for evidence to solve the toughest crimes is all part of a day’s work. The problem is, she’s so good 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. Does this unlikely duo have what it takes to resolve their mutual suspicions and avert a deadly technological infection from sweeping across the globe before it’s too late?
The light novels began in 2021 and will release its seventh volume in April 2025. There is a manga adaptation drawn by Yoshinori Kisaragi.
