Synopsis
Major publisher Kunpusya Inc. is shaken. The publishing industry has long been suffering from the recession, but now to make it worse, the CEO who was from the founding family has suddenly passed away. A power struggle arises over who will take his place. The executive manager, Tomatsu (Koichi Sato) is trying to change the company from its core, and he gives impossible tasks to Hayami (Yo Oizumi), the eccentric chief editor of a struggling magazine called Trinity. And now, Trinity is about to be discontinued.
With his smooth talking, Hayami and rookie editor Takano (Mayu Matsuoka) go out to get people like a young hot writer, a powerful author and a popular model into contributing to the magazine. They desperately try to not get the magazine discontinued by approaching their rival magazines, colleagues, higher ups at the publisher, etc. Lies, betrayals, leaks and accusations... As each of them hides their hidden intentions, Hayami tries to survive!
