The Incident Is Happening Around It(2022)

The Incident Is Happening Around It is a Japanese comedy drama that sidesteps traditional crime-solving to focus on the everyday troubles and minor cases that surround a major incident. Detective Ichika Mano, played by Fuka Koshiba, is a determined investigator who struggles to ask for help and insists on handling everything herself. Her partner, Kazuto Udagawa (Masashi Kasamatsu), is her opposite—pragmatic, efficient, and quick to delegate. The series follows this mismatched pair as their contrasting approaches to detective work create friction and humor, often pulling in the people around them into their small-scale investigations. It's a fresh take on the police procedural, trading high-stakes cases for character-driven comedy and the friction between two detectives learning to work together.
