Story
Meio Denki, a Nagoya-based major electric appliance manufacturer, receives a warning letter from the US company, Zester Research. Zester Research is seeking a hefty compensation and license fee for infringing patented solar panel technology. Meio Denki had been staking its fortunes on this technology. In the ensuing uproar within the company, Hasegawa Shinji, a young employee who works for the Intellectual Property Department, is for some reason suspected of being an industrial spy. This happens just as he is starting married life with his beautiful older wife Aoi. Zester Research is called a patent troll. An American patent mafia as well as the mysterious Sawada Ken pulled the plug from behind the scenes. On the other hand, Hama Koichi busies himself with the in-house litigation management office. Repeatedly rebuked and insulted by his boss Maruoka Yuzo, the head of the Development Department, he eventually strikes Maruoka on the head and buries him in the mountain. When discovered, Maruoka is unconscious. However, it is Hasegawa who is once again suspected in the attempted murder … … This case becomes the fuse which ignites love and pride, and starts a bruising game.
