Plot

Haruki Anjō is a police officer eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first junior in the rural and uneventful town of Nagashima where he works. However, he certainly didn't expect the rookie to be ex-mercenary Kiruko Otonashi, a green-haired young woman without any common sense who has the unfortunate habit of hilariously failing every single task she tries, often causing more harm than good. And thus, Haruki must take the responsibility of teaching Kiruko the ways on how to be a proper policewoman, while covering up and fixing all the trouble she stirs.
