Plot
This fast-paced drama tells the story of three young women in the world of investigative journalism.
Kyoko was happily working in the children's literature department of a major publishing firm when she is suddenly transferred to the editorial department of an infamous tabloid where nothing is considered taboo. From picture books and children's stories she is thrust into a world of scoops and scandals feeding off murder, corruption, and sleaze. Joining her in this battlefield are new colleagues: Eri is assigned to the sex scandal beat despite her masters degree in mass media, while Ayumi is stuck at a desk job waiting for her chance to cover a story. Their boss was formerly a top reporter at a major newspaper, but the circumstances surrounding his quitting to go freelance ten years ago remain a mystery.
