The story is based on the same-titled novel (Kadokawa Bunko) by Kizaki Chiaki, who made her debut as a novelist after winning the grand prize at the 20th Dengeki Novel Prize with "Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens." Set in a near-future Japan where a mysterious new drug called "DOPE" is rampant, Saiki Yuto (Takahashi), a rookie narcotics agent of the secret Narcotics Control Department Special Investigation Division (Special Investigation Division), and Jinnai Teppei, the division's trainer, attempt to solve a mysterious case.

A police officer has his gun stolen by a drug dealer and is shot to death. The criminal takes hostages and barricades himself in a shopping center. Saiki volunteers to persuade the criminal, and heads to the criminal's location with Watanuki (Yuko Araki) and Shibahara.

The culprit, who was in the furniture department, distracts Saiki and the others with a supernatural power that seems to be teleportation. However, Shibahara, who has a sense of smell that surpasses that of a drug-sniffing dog, realizes that he is not teleporting, but is moving at an extremely fast speed. When Watanuki praises him, saying, "You're doing great, Shiba," Shibahara happily says, "My supernatural power is my nose!"

Shibahara and his team are cornered by the culprit, but Jinnai joins in and they manage to capture the culprit safely.

Jinnai approached Shibahara, who was stuck between a table and a wall and unable to move, and asked cheerfully, "Hey Shiba! Do you want to get out of here?" When Shibahara pleaded, "I want to get out," Jinnai "ordered" her, "Then say who's your ideal senior." The scene showed Shibahara being forced to say "Ideal Senior" over and over again.

On social media, the show became a hot topic, with comments such as, "Shiba is so cute! He's such a lovable character...!", "Shiba gets more and more doggy-like with each episode, he's too cute", "I wanted Jinnai Teppei to call Shiba his ideal boss, but I just couldn't take it. I've watched it 500 million times", and "I laughed when he made him call him senpai."
