STORY
One day, Detective Kanade Natsume gains the ability to read people's thoughts by touching their palms. To get rid of his ability, Natsume transfers to the "Special Crime Countermeasures Division" where he meets Kota Akiba, who possesses a "voice that can manipulate specific individuals." The Special Crime Countermeasures Division calls these abilities "gifts" and pursues criminals who possess them.
Through their investigation, it is discovered that "gifts" are symptoms developed by people infected with a component called "G-32" leaked from Tengetsu Pharmaceutical, and that it was developed by former Tengetsu Pharmaceutical researcher Soichi Utsumi and his cousin, Hayato Yuzuhara, a commissioned staff member of the Special Crime Countermeasures Division. Yuzuhara and Utsumi formed a religion called "Jukeikyo" and administered "G-32" to seminar participants.
Kanade Natsume and Akiba corner Yuzuhara, but Yuzuhara escapes, leaving behind a mysterious message: "Beware of your brother (Taku Natsume)." Kanade Natsume faints after seeing Yuzuhara's memory.
As Natsume and Akiba's team intend to pursue the missing Yuzuhara and Megumi (Soichi Utsumi), detectives under Taku Natsume barge in.

I am very happy to be able to perform the continuation of the drama on stage.
Since all the cast members are the same as in the drama, I think we can deliver the world of the drama as it is on stage.
