| Synopsis: |
Cops get schooled by robbers?! Creating a brand new concept within detective dramas, “Cops & Robbers” features novice police detective Madarame Tsutomu (Nakajima Kento) and legendary thief Kemuri Garasu (Endo Kenichi) as forbidden buddies that tackle a vast array of difficult cases. The Investigations 3rd Unit is dedicated to solving theft cases like burglary, shoplifting, and snatching. In television dramas, these crimes have been overshadowed by murders and kidnappings, which are handled by the Investigations 1st Unit. But in reality, theft accounts for over 70% of police cases and is the crime that hits closest to home for the average citizen. Because it is carried out with numerous tactics, the 3rd Unit is said to require the highest investigative skills. Unlike “Lupin the Third” and “Cat’s Eye”, which are told from the thief’s viewpoint, “Cops & Robbers” takes the rare approach of depicting the story though the eyes of the detectives. Released in January 2018 as a manga, its transformation into a live-action drama is unusually quick! Each case comes to a satisfying solution and leads to an increased awareness of crimes, making this a racy detective drama that is universally entertaining, regardless of age and gender! |

| Synopsis: | The first-ever spoiled, unjust, and overly cunning unconventional hero in drama history just might have been borne! Heroic main character Mitsuhashi Takashi (Kaku Kento) , who sports a perm and blond hair, goes by the credo, “I will win no matter what it takes!” Yet for a main character, he is rather unjust, conniving, and calculating! Perhaps these descriptions make him seem like a despicable person, but it is actually quite satisfying and refreshing to see this sharp-thinking fellow beat the heck out of every single bad guy that appears.By his own principle of “protecting friends and allies,” he justifies his ways. In this sense, he is as pure as they come and it is almost impossible to hate him. In fact, you will want to root for him!Always there for this unjust main character is spiky-haired buddy Ito, a champion of justice who abhors anything wicked. They have polar opposite personalities yet they form a solid bond and become an unbeatable combo only because they both believe in protecting their friends and allies, even if it means taking a physical blow.Together they manage to do what we all have wanted to at some point, but in reality cannot. No doubt they will blast away all the stress from your daily life. |
