Synopsis:

The series follows Ryoutsu, a police officer whose dedication to the force is inversely proportional to his financial situation. Driven by a persistent need for easy money, he frequently concocts elaborate, often absurd schemes. These endeavors, born from a blend of desperation and questionable ingenuity, consistently unravel, leading him into disciplinary action with his commanding officer.

The narrative explores the mundane realities of bureaucratic life, contrasting Ryoutsu's impulsive actions with the rigid structure of the police department. While comedic in its execution, the show subtly examines themes of ambition, consequence, and the complexities of navigating a system often resistant to individual initiative. Expect a slice-of-life approach framed within a workplace comedy, highlighting the relatable struggles of an ordinary person attempting extraordinary measures.
