Chogoro Tagami (Kotaro Yoshida) reunites with his "destined rival" Takanori Kitaoka (Tetta Sugimoto) at the Odaiba Bayside Medical Center. The two have repeatedly competed one-on-one for the local Madonna. However, Takanori's memory loss is worsening and he has no recollection of Chogoro at all.
Unable to give up, Chogorou thinks that if they are in the same situation as before, Takanori might remember something, so he takes Reina (Uchida Rio) dressed in a long-skirted sailor uniform to see him. With a pompadour hairstyle, he calls out with all his might, "Hey! You're Kitaoka Takanori, the hotshot at Nishi High, right? I'm Tagami Chogorou, the hotshot at Kita High! Today I've brought Shoko, the local Madonna!"
Reina, introduced as "Shoko," looked at the lines she had written on her palm and exclaimed, "Are you Takanori from Nishi High? If you want to go out with me, then we'll have to go head-to-head!", fully playing the role of the local Madonna.
On social media, the photo became a hot topic, with comments such as "Delinquent girl Reina," "It was so funny to see Reina and her dad riding in on their motorbikes," "I love how Dario acts while reading from a cue card he has written on his hand lol," "Yoshida Kotaro is at his best lol. He's unrivaled when it comes to roles like this. Uchida Rio is the same lol," and "I was surprised and hilarious when Uchida Rio made a special business trip and showed up dressed as a delinquent girl."
The drama is a medical entertainment about a young delinquent girl, Koonami Tagami, who studies hard after her best friend dies in an accident and becomes a neurosurgeon, bringing a breath of fresh air to the medical field. The script is written by Nonji Nemoto, who also wrote the NHK morning drama "Omusubi," in which Hashimoto starred.
