'''''Mayonaka Densha''''' is a [[Historical Fantasy]] web comic hosted on [[Comic Fury]], written and drawn by Himitsu Notebook. ''[http://mayonakadensha.thecomicseries.com/comics/ Mayonaka Densha]'' (Or The Midnight Train) details the life of Hatsune Rondo, an [[Ordinary High School Student]] and [[Sherlock Holmes]] fangirl who is somewhat disenchanted with her surroundings in modern Japan, mainly due to her vacant, neglectful mother, and dreams of living in a romantic Victorian city. One evening, Hatsune is mysteriously whisked back in time to [[Victorian London]] of 1888 after missing the last train home and boarding another train that turned up at midnight.


There Hatsune has a very brief run-in with [[Jack the Ripper]] only to be saved by a kind hearted orphan named [[The Pollyanna|Thomas]] [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|Bellman]]. When Hatsune asks Tom for help, he introduces her to his boss, who happens to be none other than Sherlock Holmes himself, who offers Hatsune a temporary position in the Baker Street Irregulars until she finds her way home. Hatsune joins Tom and his two best friends, [[He-Man Woman Hater|Jack Terry]] and [[Deliberately Cute Child|Morris]] [[Older Than They Look|Redwood]] in their quest to take down the many criminals that infest London, along the way going up against and [[Heel Face Turn|eventually befriending]] the rich and haughty [[Classy Cat Burglar|Jessica Queen]]. At first, Hatsune's dreams seem to have come true, living in a world she's always imagined with a group of close friends plus some good old fashioned justice on the side, but strange things from Hatsune's past begin to surface from Hatsune's past, particularly as she begins to fall in love with Tom, murders get more and more gruesome, and her brief encounter with the Ripper just doesn't seem to leave her alone.
