Satoshi Onoe, a reporter for a weekly magazine, has a new stakeout partner, and he's anything but thrilled about it. Photographer Motoharu Kaburagi's unconventional reporting methods and overall bad attitude are enough to drive Onoe insane. But the more the two work together, the closer they get.

Ever since the yakuza incident and Onoe's daring rescue, rookie reporter Kasai has gone from viewing Onoe as a rival to admiring him to a fault! And Kaburagi is not pleased--at all. While chasing a story about a famous actor having an affair, Onoe and Kaburagi run into Kasai. In a fit of jealousy, Kaburagi blurts out that he and Onoe are a couple. Overhearing this, the devious Inami decides to target Onoe.
