Synopsis:

Shibuya is a vibrant hub where fashion and law enforcement unexpectedly collide. Ran Kotobuki embodies this duality; outwardly a stylish young woman immersed in the city's culture of karaoke and retail, she carries a strong sense of responsibility rooted in her family’s police background. Alongside her friends, Ran navigates everyday life while subtly safeguarding her neighborhood from disturbances, often blending her social life with unexpected acts of civic duty. The series explores themes of community, personal identity, and the challenges of balancing youthful pursuits with serious obligations. It offers a glimpse into a contemporary urban environment, depicting the lives of young people striving to make their mark – one shopping spree and carefully planned intervention at a time.
