Kanzaki is a serious, career detective with a touch of humanism who is mortified when he is assigned a new
partner in Kuroki, an ultra hard-nosed, rough-and-tumble cop. With their diametrically-opposed personalities and views on life, they form an odd pair battling crime in highly-satisfying police drama style. Kanzaki is seeking to follow in the path of his policeman father whom he greatly admires. Kuroki boasts the highest arrest rate on the force through his strong gut feelings and perceptive mind. But the two men share one secret that mustn’t get out: they are half-brothers. They may think and act very differently, but therein lies their biggest crime-fighting weapons.

Ritsu Okazaki was abandoned by his mother when a child and has since scraped out a seedy life in the only place that will comfortably accept him: the underworld. But one fateful day, Ritsu incurs a serious-head injury during a scuffle, and is informed by a doctor that he could go at any moment. With time running out, he sets out to find his mother, Reiko Hyuga. What he finds, however, is a happy and wealthy woman who spends her time lavishing love on another son named Satoru. Ritsu is torn between feelings of jealous hatred and yearning for the love of his mother. That’s when he’s reunited with Rinka, a girl he’d helped before. But Rinka has long been in love with Satoru, a childhood friend, but she has kept those feelings to herself. A mother and two sons, a girl and two men: two love triangles that intersect and clash to produce a bittersweet love story.

Masayoshi Homura is a Psychology professor at a Tokyo university. But there is a "darker" side to him that very few know about. Long ago, he was a member of the greatest group of professional burglars ever assembled: TAKE FIVE. With his father, he followed a Robin Hood like lifestyle of stealing only from the very bad… until a certain incident led him to retire. 20 years later, when he is handed a photo inscribed "Leonardo da Vinci" by a homeless woman, it sets of a series of events that sends Masayoshi hurtling back down the path of thievery. He re-forms the greatest team of good-natured crooks in history, which include a police officer and a security guard. TAKE FIVE are back to unleash a campaign of heists in the name of love.

Miko, who abandons her ascetic training to become a convent nun to instead assume the singing dreams of her twin brother’, Mio, by replacing him as a member of the hugely popular rock band, A.N. JELL. The band’s leader, Ren, though overflowing with musical talent, is also an extreme neat freak and perfectionist who keeps others at a distance and refuses to recognize Miko or anybody else’s talent.
The band’s other members consist of Shu, who seems to have a little more of a forgiving personality, but is actually just extremely detached. Yuuki, while on the surface a complete airhead, keeps balance in the band, particularly between Ren and Shu. Miko leaves the communal life of a nunnery to join that of a rock band, but will she be able to “gel” with A.N.JELL? And bringing a girl into an all-boy band is sure to produce some interesting chemical reactions; perhaps even some chemistry between Miko and Ren, not to mention a fair share of jealousy, tears, camaraderie and even a search for parental love.
