REMOW describes the anime:

In 1992, a pandemic of viral encephalitis shook the world. The medical technology that saved humanity evolved into “Your Forma”—an invasive information device implanted into the brain. In this world where every sight, sound, and even emotion is recorded, investigating major crimes means diving into the collective data, a job reserved for special detectives called “Electronic Investigator.”

Echika Hieda is a highly skilled "Electronic Investigator" who has been assigned to work with Harold, a humanoid "Amicus." Despite their differences in appearance, they will work together to uncover any hidden secrets.
