Synopsis

The special edition features a rebooted version of Episode 1 from the original drama series, which aired on January 10, 2022, with newly added scenes, as well as the so-called “Time Capsule Arc” from Volume 11 of the original manga.

Kuno Totono (played by Suda Masaki) becomes the prime suspect in the murder of his university classmate Sagae Ken after the latter is found dead. He is questioned by officers from the Otonari Police Station, including Furomitsu Seiko (played by Ito Sairi), Ikemoto Yuto (played by Onoe Matsuya II), Aoto Nariaki (played by Tsutsui Michitaka), and Yabu Kanzo (played by Endo Kenichi). Meanwhile, Ren is also interviewed by detectives on campus. Amatatsu Haruo (played by Suzuki Kosuke) grows concerned for both Totono and Ren, who are members of his university seminar.

A few days after the case is resolved, Ren invites Totono to take part in a bizarre part-time job that pays ¥10,000 per day. At first, Totono refuses, but Ren’s innocent smile and words – “If anything happens, you’ll figure it out, right Totono-kun?” – eventually convince him to reluctantly accept.
