In the live-action television version of Gokuaku Ganbo, Machiko Ono plays a woman named Kaoru Kanzaki who joins an agency that solves people's various problems, even if it employs methods that are not always above the law.

The series will premiere on April 14, and Crunchyroll will begin its streaming a few days later. The original Gokuaku Ganbo manga ran in Kodansha's Evening magazine from 2001 to 2009, and a new Gokuaku Ganbo -Naniwa Akudō- series is now running in the same magazine.
