Unlock the memories of the dead to reveal the truth behind unresolved cases.

We follow the fictional Ninth Forensic Section of the National Research Institute of Police Science, colloquially known as “the Ninth.” When the victim or perpetrator of a brutal serious crime dies, the Ninth conducts an MRI investigation by scanning their brain and visually reconstructing their memories from before death. As the images are those “seen” by the deceased, they can reflect hallucinations, illness, delusions, and preconceptions.

With exceptionally good looks, remarkable memory, and keen perception, Tsuyoshi Maki is a founding member and now the chief of the Ninth. He once shot and killed a colleague, Katsuhiro Suzuki, in self-defense after Suzuki went insane from viewing the mental images of a serial killer who had committed grotesque murders. Maki had secretly harbored romantic feelings for Suzuki since their college days. As Maki wrestles with the guilt of having killed a loved one by his own hand, a rookie investigator named Aoki, who looks just like Suzuki, joins his section. Struggling with the feelings of guilt and conflict that arise from seeing the thoughts and secrets kept by the deceased until their deaths, the two form an irreplaceable bond while striving to solve difficult cases.

Aoki later meets Yukiko, Suzuki’s ex-fiancée, and finds himself attracted to her. Maki is aware of Aoki’s affection for Yukiko but secretly develops feelings for him.
As they deal with their own emotions, Maki and Aoki explore the sometimes cruel, sometimes sad memories and unspoken truths of the dead.

A selfish, rich young man with no clue about romance falls for an ordinary girl with the opposite background!

Subaru (25) is the handsome grandson of the chairman of a major clothing company. He’s lived a comfortable life under his grandfather’s roof since his parents died when he was a child. As a result, the people around him think of him as naive, spoiled, and shameless.

After graduating from college, he launched his own fashion brand with investment from his grandfather, but the business failed and lost a lot of money. This led to him joining his grandfather’s company. He was living life in easy mode until he was suddenly kicked out of his grandfather’s mansion and told to try living a normal life. He begins to live on his own in the company dorm and experience the life of a “common person” for the first time.

Assigned to the same department as Subaru, Madoka (25) is his complete opposite. She grew up in the countryside in a single-father household and is serious and dependable. She attended college in Tokyo on a scholarship with the goal of working for the clothing company that saved her with a large delivery of children’s clothing when a landslide hit her hometown. Having spent most of her time trying to make ends meet with part-time jobs, she’s had no time for romance. Through hard work, she lands a job at the clothing company she had longed to join. She tends to see things philosophically, and because of the trauma of being abandoned by her mother, she doesn’t trust or seek out romance, love, or anything uncertain.

Despite their very different backgrounds, Subaru’s feelings for Madoka begin to grow when they start spending time together as colleagues. Madoka, on the other hand, is taken aback by Subaru’s lack of life skills. At first, she doesn’t trust in his feelings and treats him badly, but when she sees his determination, honesty, and willingness to change for her, she’s moved by his single-minded love and gradually begins to fall for him.
