Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of modern Tokyo, this series follows Ryouko Yakushiji, a sharp and articulate investigator navigating the unusual realities of the city's police force. A graduate of Tokyo University’s law department, Yakushiji tackles cases blending conventional crime with elements of the unexplained, encountering a spectrum of supernatural occurrences. Her work is further complicated by a competitive dynamic with fellow officer Yukiko Muromachi, a rival who matches her skill and presence. The narrative explores themes of justice, perception, and the blurred lines between the rational and the extraordinary within a contemporary urban environment. It offers a thoughtful examination of problem-solving and interpersonal relationships amidst perplexing circumstances, emphasizing character-driven storytelling over high-octane action.
