Kyoko Odagiri (Satomi Ishihara) is a beautiful and charismatic clairvoyant. She is also popular and admired by her fans. Today, Kyoko appears on a popular tv show and display her psychic abilities alongside a popular actor. Her performance goes off splendidly with the audience applauding her performance enthusiastically.
Unlike her splashy public persona Kyoko is actually an ordinary girl with a timid personality. Her public persona is actually a creation by Kyoko's cousin Kaoru Ibushi (Yuko Oshima), who is also the president of an entertainment company that represents Kyoko. Furthermore, Kyoko is forced against her will to perform by Kaoru Ibushi. Sometimes Kyoko attempts to runaway when she has to perform, but is brought back back an black suited organization hired by Kaoru Ibushi.
One day, Kyoko runs away and hides in the men's bathroom. There she meets Ichiro Taniguchi (Shosuke Tanihara). Right away she asks Ichiro Taniguchi to help her runaway, but he keeps quiet when the black suited men show up. When Kaoru gives her intimidating orders to return, Kyoko quietly goes back to work. Strangely enough, she then crosses paths with Ichiro Taniguchi wherever she works. Ichiro Taniguchi then helps Kyoko Ogagiri solve mystifying paranormal problems.

I've seen the first 2 episodes and so far so good. It's definitely cheesy and slapsticky, but in a good, fun way.
