Story
Shiraishi Tomio, who works for a foreign securities firm and moves huge sums of money everyday, has a beautiful, intelligent fiancee Aoike Kozue. Life has been smooth sailing. But one day, he gets a phone call from his mother, Mihoko, telling him that the family’s factory issued checks that were not honoured and his father Takao, the company president, has gone missing. When Tomio hastily rushes over, the phone in the factory keeps rings with calls from debtors. It turns out that his father had even borrowed a lot of money from vicious moneylenders. The family is not able to get hold of Takao over the next few days. As his father’s joint guarantor, Tomio’s savings are spent on paying off a portion of the debt. Even so, that is not enough. He asks acquaintances to lend him money, but not a single person will help. Meanwhile, Tomio’s mother collapses from the strain of recent events. In addition, he is forced to resign from his company which has found out that he is mired in debt. At this moment, Tomio’s high school teacher, Konno Hiroshi, has been made to shoulder the debt of relatives again and is distressed. This is something he cannot tell his daughter, Mio, who complains that her temporary contact will be terminated sometime in the near future. With mounting irritation, Tomio begs for money at the shrine that his mother has turned to for spiritual support, and causes a commotion. On top of that, he pockets a 500 yen coin that had rolled to him. The person who dropped the coin happens to be Mio. Realising that Tomio stole it, she questions him. But the cash-strapped Tomio brushes her off. Several days later, Tomio is summoned by Kozue’s grandmother who is the chairman of the large financial group, Aoike Finance, and told to break off with Kozue for 10 million yen. Then he his younger brother, Kotaro, calls to say that their mother maybe able to undergo surgery, but … … Tomio loses everything – his money, job and fiancee – and becomes homeless. The path he chooses is that of the moneylenders who drove him to the very bottom. He ends up going to work for Akamatsu Daisuke who runs Akamatsu Finance. Akamatsu Finance looks like a normal company on the outside, but lends money at high interest rates behind the scenes. Tomio wants to regain everything that he and his father lost in their lives because of money, with money. Deciding that he will endure any kind of hardship for the sake of money, Tomio goes to great lengths to do whatever it takes to achieve his aims, even the illegal. Then he meets Mio who makes him realise before he is aware of it, that he has been obsessed with money, and special feelings start to blossom between the two of them. Furthermore, Kozue, who has complicated love-hate feelings for him shows up again. The three soon develop a complex romantic relationship. Faced with the truth of his father’s death, Tomio plots a heroic revenge. But will he be able to regain all that he has lost?
