Kana Aoyama is a 38-year-old TV reporter for CTN. Kana is known for being stubborn and inflexible but passionate about uncovering the truth. After doggedly pursuing an unsolved case for 15 years, she is then assigned to lead a ragtag team of second-line reporters. Her team includes reporter Hiroshi Shiraishi, who constantly receives complaints from his interviewees, and TV announcer Midori Okusawa, who once misread a news report and landed herself here; Shu Akasaka, a news reporter interested in only political aspects of news stories; cameraman Isao Koda, who pretends to be a movie director; Ken Shimura, a camera assistant who rarely touches the camera and AD Yu Momoi, who is easily persuaded and manipulated by those around him. Their first assignment was to cover seals who had reappeared in the Tama River. Kana, however, is interested in the Prime Minister who stood up to the U.S. Secretary of State for a prearranged meeting. What did the Prime Minister do during his disappearance? Kana looks at the footage of the Prime Minister prior to his disappearance, and once he reappeared in public. She notices something that no one else has. Kana then announced her team would focus on the Prime Minister's disappearance. This raises the scorn of her subordinates, and her team is now viewed as a nuisance by others. (Source: AsianWiki)
