Three elite siblings—a doctor (eldest son), a lawyer (only daughter), and a cop (youngest son)—go all out to solve a “problem” that’s destroying their family’s peace.

You can be sure this family will solve any problem. They conduct strategy meetings during their family meetings, and "the family's happiness" is always top priority--more important than the law or common sense.

Leading the cast of characters is Shusaku Kitazawa, a University of Tokyo graduate who works at the Metropolitan Police Department. He's one of the few who has potential to rise to the ranks of the elite executives. Assigned to the Police Affairs Department, Shusaku studies day and night for the promotion exam in hopes of one day becoming the police commissioner. The drawback is that his sense of justice is too strong.

Equally exceptional are his older sister Chiaki and big brother Hirofumi. Chiaki is a high-flying lawyer who is blessed with both beauty and brains. Her intellectual prowess and eloquence earn her the reputation of "the Kitazawa family's brains." Like Shusaku, Chiaki is a champion of justice but her take on things are "odd" and she ends up shocking people quite frequently. Simply put, she has no common sense.

No one doubts that the eldest brother Hirofumi is a young and talented heart surgeon. His juniors have strong faith in him and he's rumored to be in line to becoming the medical director, even from this early on in his career. His only flaw is that he really loves himself.

Surely, no problem can stand against the elite trio of "cop," "lawyer," and "doctor." They should be able to solve any issue even before it begins. But the older two have personalities and opinions so strong that the youngest Shusaku ends up picking up the slack.

Such was how they were raised by their father Taizo Kitazawa, headmaster of the private middle school Kitazawa Academy. His book on his "secrets" to raising three University of Tokyo graduates became a bestseller and the number of parents dreaming of putting their kids into Kitazawa Academy exploded. Taizo achieved prominence for successfully running a topnotch private middle school, but...

Step into the world of three weird siblings as they weave a ridiculous but somehow beautiful story of family love. Will the lead character, the youngest child who became a cop but somewhat lacks an elitist pretense, mature as a person? Family love vs work ethics--this is the struggle the Kitazawa family is mired in, and they always wind up splitting hairs asking, "Why does it turn out that way?" Follow their antics in this racy "ROTF comedy" fit for the entire family!
