Yoshida and Takito will portray editors-in-chief duelling for promotion. Lily Franky is an enigmatic informant. Masaharu Fukuyama also personally revealed during his radio programme, that Takumi Saito will appear as a popular young politician and potential candidate for prime minister’s chair, who becomes one of his main targets.
