May 10 (News On Japan) - A renowned love suspense drama reaches its conclusion on May 15th with a shocking final episode, centering on a chilling tale of a serial killer and the woman who loved him unconditionally.
Actor Narimiya Hiroki returns to the screen for the first time in eight years, taking on a challenging new role as a killer. The drama, based on an original story by Seimaru Amagi—creator of the hit manga series 'The Kindaichi Case Files', which boasts over 100 million copies in circulation—blends psychological suspense and twisted romance into a compelling narrative.
The story follows Masato Kamishiro, an ideal husband devoted to his wife Mio, who works at a local patisserie. Their peaceful married life is upended when a female journalist, Yuuhi Minamisawa, is found murdered in the neighborhood. As investigations unfold, their once-ordinary life begins to unravel.
Detective Tomizawa relentlessly pursues the case, while suspicious behavior from Kamishiro’s co-workers—Joji Oyamada and Iroha Koizumi—adds further intrigue. Meanwhile, a mysterious man lurks around the couple, and Kamishiro’s hidden past slowly comes to light, including rumors of multiple women and a connection to investor Masumi Nagano.
Despite growing anxiety, Mio becomes increasingly dependent on her husband, ignoring the concerns of her old classmate and psychiatrist Mizuki Segawa. The couple plans a getaway to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, but more secrets threaten to shatter everything.
The final episode promises to reveal the ultimate fate of a woman consumed by love for a charming yet deadly man. As the line between affection and madness blurs, viewers are left to wonder: where will this “ultimate love” lead?
