Set in a seaside child consultation center, the story follows Tsubasa Natsui (played by Fukuhara) as a new child welfare officer as he faces a variety of children and their parents and grows together with them. This will be Fukuhara's first lead role in a "Getsuku" drama.
"Help me. Rizumu (Otokida Saku-kun) is going to die."
Anzai Kanamu (Dorimu, Sojiro Chiba) bursts into tears in front of Tsubasa, saying that he wants to deliver the bottled drink and sweet bread he stole from a convenience store to his younger brother, Kanamu. Tsubasa hurries to Kanamu's house. However, when they get to the house, Kanamu says, "No good. Don't tell my mom where you live," and refuses to tell her his room number. Just then, Kurata (Kento Hayashi) and others, who had received a report from Tsubasa, rush over.
When Tsubasa rang the doorbell of Kanamu's room, Yumeno came out angrily, saying, "Shut up! The door is open!" As soon as she realized that Tsubasa was from the child welfare office, Yumeno tried to close the door. Tsubasa pleaded, "Kanamu, you're inside, aren't you? Can I at least see your face once?" and reported Kanamu's shoplifting. When Kurata and the others entered the room, they found Kanamu looking exhausted. He was severely dehydrated.
Meanwhile, Yumeno ran wild and left her house. When she found Kanamu waiting outside, she yelled at him, "What are you doing out there? I told you not to talk about the house!" Kanamu started crying, saying, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
In the end, Kanamu and Kanamu were temporarily placed under the protection of the Hamase City Child Consultation Center. Meanwhile, Yumeno seems unaware of the neglect, asking Kaji (Nishiyama Jun) of the Uragasaki Police Station, "Did I commit a crime?" "Kanamu shoplifted without my permission, the child welfare office did all sorts of things without my permission, and we had a break-in. On top of that, we were kidnapped. Aren't they the ones who are the criminals? It doesn't make sense," she said.
At the end of the episode, Yumeno visits the Hamase City Child Consultation Center and yells at the security guard, "Is Natsui Tsubasa there? Just call him!"
On social media, people were talking about the show, saying things like, "Anzai Yumeno is really scary," "We can't take our eyes off Anzai Yumeno, who has no idea she's done anything wrong. How will she change her ways, and will she be able to remain a mother to Kanamu and Kanamu, and how will Tsubasa deal with this?", "In this Getsuku drama, neglect isn't just the mother's fault. What happened to the father?" and "Even if children are abused or neglected, they don't hate their mothers, and in fact they still love them. It's kind of sad, but it's reality."
