Kaido published “Madonna Verde” in 2008 as a sequel to “Gene Waltz,” continuing the story around the controversial issue of surrogate pregnancy in Japan. Kuninaka plays the doctor Rie Sonezaki, known as the “Cool Witch” by her colleagues in the obstetrics department. The character was previously played by Miho Kanno (33) in the movie version of “Gene Waltz.” In “Madonna Verde,” Rie and her husband (played by comedian Jin Katagiri) want to have a child, but Rie lost her uterus due to an earlier illness. She decides to ask her own mother Midori (Matsuzaka) to be the surrogate mother, and the three of them proceed with their plan in secret.

However, a man named Maruyama (Kyozo Nagatsuka), who is in love with Midori, finds out about their plan. Later, a professor at Rie’s university hospital (Hirotaro Honda) receives an accusatory letter, and Midori and Rie are desperately forced to pretend that the child in Midori’s womb is her own. --Tokyograph

Osawa Eriko is a beautiful career woman who has just returned from training in the U.S. and is appointed as the "boss" of this division. But despite her intelligence and capabilities, she can never understand a man's heart, so she remains unable to find a husband. In fact, her assignment in the U.S. was really a demotion after she ruined her career track over a man. So why was she chosen as the boss of the new division?

In the end, the division's true purpose is just to isolate these problematic detectives.

Synopsis

It has been two years since Minakata Jin went back in time to the closing days of the Tokugawa shogunate. One day, Sakamoto Ryoma arrives from Kyoto to seek Jin’s help. Ryoma says Katsu Kaishu’s mentor, Sakuma Shozan, has been attacked by a group of samurai warriors, called the Shinsengumi, and is near death. However, Sakuma survives because of Jin’s fervent treatment. As a troubled Jin worries that his treatments may change the course of history, Sakuma tells him, “Save people without hesitation!” After that, Jin who had been treating the injuries of the people, is taken away by the Shinsengumi and asked to give Saigo Kichinosuke (later known as Saigo Takamori) medical attention, but … … At that moment, Sakamoto Ryoma comes up from Kyoto to enlist Jin’s help. Katsu Kaishu’s mentor, Sakuma Shozan, had sustained injuries in an attack by the Shinsengumi and is on the verge of death. Jin goes to Kyoto with Ryoma as he agonises whether he will radically alter history by saving an important person who will have an influence on the period. There, he sees Shozan who is so seriously injured that it would be a miracle if he lives. Shozan somehow escapes death through Jin’s frantic treatment and perseverance. Then Shozan regains consciousness, and shocking words come out from his mouth … …! After that, Jin remains in Kyoto and concentrates on treating people injured in the war between the Choshu and Satsuma domains. One day, he is taken away to some place by the Shinsengumi who appear out of nowhere. Jin has been brought to the residence of Saigo Takamori in Satsuma domain. Saigo is suffering from appendicitis and needs to be operated on immediately or his life will be in danger … …
