■ Synopsis: 'Takusari Brothers' First Contact: 'D-day: The Day Sin Disappears'
This is a sorrowful story revolving around heinous crimes that cannot be judged by the law.
One day, Chika (Chikako Uchida) has her daughter taken hostage by a man posing as a delivery worker. She is threatened to 'kill' her aunt, Marie (Hitomi Kuroki), who had showered her with love in place of her late mother. As the mysterious man makes cruel demands, Chika begins a lonely battle to reclaim her daily life. Is the mysterious man, Sho (Daichi Imae), an enemy or an ally? And what is the shocking truth hidden behind the incident?
As the title 'D-day' (Operation Day/Day of Destiny) suggests, this work depicts the greatest battle of one's life that suddenly descends upon an ordinary day. Please enjoy this non-stop crime entertainment, filled with the tension of a constant climax and the overwhelming immersion unique to vertical short dramas, alongside the main series.
