Synopsis

The newly established “Consultation for Anything Office” in the Community Safety Division at Suginami Central Police Station of the Metropolitan Police Department was touted as being “newly established in an attempt to respond quickly to the citizens’ voice,” but in actuality, it was a dumpsite for personnel who caused trouble or were cast aside. “Zero multiplied by any number is zero.” In other words, it meant that no matter how many worthless employees get together, they’re still worthless, and they come to be mocked by other police station members as “Section Zero.” To this Section Zero transfers in the enigmatic Kobayakawa Fuyuhiko, a career superintendent from the National Police Agency’s National Research Institute of Police Science. Fuyuhiko, in spite of being a career bureaucrat, is naive and the ultimate KY (people who can’t read situations) detective. The person who gets assigned as his buddy is the strong minded veteran detective with a foul mouth, Terada Torami. Unexpectedly, the “ultimate KY” detective becomes a catalyst for the trouble children gathered at Section Zero and brings about a chemical reaction. The two who don’t see eye to eye on anything, along with the very unique fellow members of Section Zero, lead various difficult cases to resolution, at times brilliantly, and at times ineptly.
