“We work at the police, but we have no right to investigate!”

Detective Suzunosuke Shikahama is currently suspended from work after a screw up. He gets together with Haruhi Mabuchi from the Administration Bureau, Sesuna Tsumiki from the Community Safety Bureau, and Ruka Kotori from Accounting. All from different departments and carrying their own baggage, the four join forces. They’re not exactly what you would call champions of justice. They’re not even ambitious enough to go for success. All they want is the truth.

Each one carries the burdens of their complicated issues, but with a sense perception and deductive reasoning unconventional for detectives, they solve complex cases.

In time, the four develop friendships… and love. But soon enough, they are faced with a much bigger truth. Thus begin their days of feeling like their fate is swallowing them up.


Mystery meets comedy meets romance in this story written by scriptwriter Yuji Sakamoto, whose hit dramas include “Mother” and “Woman—My Life for My Children—.”

This samurai has virtues that many of us have forgotten.
Iwane Sakazaki returns to his homeland and gets caught in the middle of an incident that results in the tragic death of two of his best friends from childhood. He decides to leave his domain, parting with his fiancée Nao who he was going to marry shortly after his return, and becomes a vagrant masterless samurai with nothing more to lose.
Iwane begins living in a row house in Edo, filleting eels during the day and working as a bodyguard at night for Imazuya, a reputable money exchanger.
He gradually wins the trust of the people around him - including his landlord Kinbe, who helped Iwane find work, and his daughter Okon, who starts to have feeling for him - because of his mellow nature, the chivalrous way he treats everyone with courtesy, and his skills of swords.
One day, he learns that Imazuya is being targeted in a conspiracy to sabotage a new monetary system implemented by the government. Though still trying to recover from the anguish he suffered back home, Iwane decides to protect the people who have given him support.
