Todoroki, an underboss of the underground syndicate "Tsuchigumo", and Arigaya, a detective of the 4th police division, are constantly at each others throats. But although the two are on opposite sides of the law, they're both actually madly in love with one another! Can love even flourish between a Yakuza and a Cop? Yakuza to Metsuki no Warui Onna Keiji no Hanashi is a hilarious romcom between two unsuspecting prisoners of love as they navigate their way through the stakeouts and sting operations of a love you would've least expected!
