She insists on "winning" for her clients, no matter how risky it may be. As a brilliant lawyer, she is so obsessed with winning and so as expected, has many enemies both inside and outside of the firm. However, she doesn’t care one bit about how she is being perceived by those around. Reiko always says boldly that she is just being honest with herself, and that the desirable emotion that everyone has about money, is simply just stronger than others.

Japan is supposedly a peaceful country, but every year, 85,000 people go missing. Only a handful of cases are deemed urgent and worthy enough by the police to be investigated.
Perhaps what is needed to convince the police is... the world’s attention.


The thing is... once the public’s eyes are all over a case, “misfortune” grows, and with it comes “misery.” When baffling incidents occur, the whole worlds seems to take whatever limited information is available to conduct their own “deductive reasoning” and paint a picture of the background “story.”

It’s 2021, and many in Japan have tools and platforms to disseminate information. To say that we’re in an era of 100 million “detective novel writers” is no stretch.
Numerous mouths, fingers, and pens give birth to all sorts of “stories” that, in turn, lead to other “stories,” creating a snowball effect. So, just what is the truth and what are the lies?
Our protagonist unexpectedly becomes the central figure of such countless “stories.” One day, his wife and kids suddenly disappear. He frantically searches for them, but has no leads whatsover.

In the blink of an eye, whatever sympathy he received takes a turn for the worse. Speculative minds think, “Maybe the husband killed them?” After being flagged as the real culprit, all eyes focus on him as he gets driven into a corner. Will he be able to get his beloved family back? Where can the truth be found?
A fierce six-month-long battle begins! What “story” will you make out of this case?

At an Ethnology lecture he happens to attend, Naoya takes an interest in handsome associate professor, Takatsuki Akira. The professors’ words carry no lies at all, comfortably reaching his ears.

Akira has the ability to remember anything he sees for a few moments, a “perfect memory”, and is only interested in unexplained phenomena.
Intrigued by Naoya's report on his strange childhood experience, Akira invites him to be his assistant.
One day, a mysterious event occurs at a nearby elementary school and the pair attempt to find an explanation, however...

A human mystery about hope and the importance of the human connection, told through an Associate Professor with special abilities, and a lonely young man.
