奇怪的搭档

After a misunderstanding on a bus, judicial apprentice Sakura mistakes competent prosecutor Haruto for a pervert. Their paths cross again when Haruto intervenes in a heated argument between Sakura and her boyfriend, resulting in a night of drinking for the two. A few days later, Sakura arrives for her prosecutor training, and encounters Haruto once again. Their awkward relationship takes a darker turn when Sakura becomes embroiled in in a murder.

Sakura is arrested on suspicion of murdering her ex-boyfriend. Haruto is assigned as the prosecutor for the case and pressures Sakura, who has no alibi, to confess. However, she refuses and instead asks Haruto for help.

Haruto decides to go his separate way as Sakura desperately uses her only clue to search for the real killer. Two years later, she now runs her own law office but struggles to find decent clients. Another turn of mysterious events brings Sakura and Haruto back together again.

Determined to let go of her feelings for Haruto, Sakura heads home, only to find that someone who may be the real killer has broken into her office. Haruto rushes to her side and insists she stay at his place for her safety.

When Haruto's ex-girlfriend Sakiko makes a sudden visit, Sakura pretends to be his new girlfriend, which leads to a tense confrontation. Sakiko later decides to part ways with Haruto, after learning about the challenges Haruto had to face because of her.

Sakura, Ren, Shinjo and Yoneda join Haruto as his law office takes on its first case. Surprisingly, their client asks for Sakura to represent him, but Haruto is unsure whether to take on a client with no alibi. Sakura refuses to give up on him, seeing similarities with her own past.
