＜introduction
Just keep going straight and chase after what you longed for...

A long time ago.
In this world, there were many races such as elves, dwarves, vampires, homunculus, and humans.
At the top of the hierarchy, where conflict never ceased, was the "dragon. Over time, however, the "dragons" disappeared, and the remaining races chose to coexist, and over the ages, they all became almost human-like in appearance, with only a few external characteristics.

Tokyo, 2x19.

The present day seems to have become peaceful. Yet crime has not disappeared.
The "Nine," an organization that once existed, is so enamored with "dragons" that it commits violent crimes out of a desire for their power.
They have been plotting to change the current world by causing heinous crimes.

In order to counter the "Nine," the Metropolitan Police Department has formed a task force of experts in various fields.
The name of the task force is "Section 7 of the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Crimes Unit, Special Thugs Division," commonly known as "TOKUNA.
Although each individual has outstanding abilities, they are rumored to be a group of "stragglers" and "deadbeats.

Seiji Nanatsuki, a rookie, is the newest member of Tokunana.
While being tossed around by the members who are full of individuality, he tries to solve the Nine cases with his natural cheerfulness and straightforwardness.
Will he be able to find the justice he believes in in the midst of the difficult cases that arise one after another?
