It follows Choujou Meguru, a specialist in criminal investigations who uses every kind of psychic ability, including mind reading, clairvoyance, and telepathy, and Ippongi Nao, a rookie police officer who holds a judo dan and has earned the nickname “Gorilla” for their monstrous strength. Together, this strongest(?) buddy pair works to protect the peace of Chinshuku Keikichou, one of Japan’s leading entertainment districts.
