The trio with the worst teamwork! A case is reported to the Criminal Affairs Division of a police precinct in a quiet, rural town. Kurokawa Suzuki, a detective with exceptional powers of deduction, and his subordinates Shiraishi Kosaku and Akagi Tadashi rush to the crime scene. The case has occurred in the mountains, at a farm for high-grade wasabi and the murder victim is the farm’s owner, Sonoyama Shigeo. His eldest daughter, Sonoko, was the first person to discover his body. The wasabi that Shigeo cultivates is of the highest grade. All of it has been stolen. So Shiraishi deduces that it was the work of a group of thieves from a neighbouring town. The glass of the greenhouse in which Shigeo grew orchids was also broken, but oddly enough, the orchids were not stolen. Kurokawa doubts Shiraishi’s theory about the group of thieves. If they were the culprits, they did not need to kill Shigeo. He speculates that it was someone who would be in trouble if his or her face was seen. Kurokawa narrows his suspects down to three people: Sonoko, the eldest son Tatsuo, and second son Maruo.

Cops get schooled by robbers?!


The crime closest to our everyday life might just be theft. In the Metropolitan Police Department, it is handled by the Investigations 3rd Unit.

Creating a brand new concept within detective dramas, "Cops & Robbers" features novice police detective Tsutomu Madarame and legendary thief Kemuri Garasu (Smoky Crow) as forbidden buddies that tackle a vast array of difficult cases.

The Investigations 3rd Unit is dedicated to solving theft cases like burglary, shoplifting, and snatching. In television dramas, these crimes have been overshadowed by murders and kidnappings, which are handled by the Investigations 1st Unit. But in reality, theft accounts for over 70% of police cases and is the crime that hits closest to home for the average citizen. Because it is carried out with numerous tactics, the 3rd Unit is said to require the highest investigative skills.

Unlike "Lupin the Third" and "Cat's Eye", which are told from the thief's viewpoint, "Cops & Robbers" takes the rare approach of depicting the story though the eyes of the detectives. Released in January 2018 as a manga, its transformation into a live-action drama is unusually quick!

Each case comes to a satisfying solution and leads to an increased awareness of crimes, making this a racy detective drama that is universally entertaining, regardless of age and gender!

Kinoshita, the boss at an ad agency, is a guy that lives in the moment and for today. He’s always late for work and then leaves early. He’s completely unpredictable.

Kinoshita and his bunch of useless employees ‘work’ at the Marumaru Tsushinsha advertising agency. Everything is done at a leisurely pace and Kinoshita takes responsibility for nothing. This warm-hearted sit-com is from the perspective of Bokumoto, a new employee at the agency. As you’ll see, the “laws of happiness” often override common sense.
