-;Episode 1
-As the story begins we meet Niimi Taksashi, a political reporter for the Toto newspaper and the widowed father of a seven-year old daughter, Moe. Niimi plans in a few days to marry Mako, a sweet-tempered woman, nine years younger, who works in a childrens' book store. A parliamentary (Diet) election campaign is underway, but Niimi is neglecting routine campaign events to investigate a potential scandal involving the shift of support, in exchange for construction contracts, between a faction supporting the incumbent prime minister, Odajima Ichirou, and a reform-minded formter party leader, Nakazawa Mikio. Due to his work Niima also misses a meeting with Mako to plan their wedding ceremony. At the wedding center, Mako crosses paths with Odajima's formidable wife, Midori, who is there to address a group of political wives. Midori, in her limousine, is contrasted with Mako, on her bicycle. Time passes; the election occurs, and Odajima is reelected. Niimi and Mako are married, and Niimi attempts to settle into a new routine with Mako and Moe. Despite the advice of his friend and coworker, Nobeoka Ryouji, he continues to pursue the factional intrigue, to the detriment of his new marriage, and at some risk of political retribution. Moe, meanwhile, suffers from Niimi's frequent absence. Her birthday is a disaster, as Mako returns home late due to an unexpected offer to publish a childrens' picture book she has written, and Niimi returns home even later, after accepting an invitation to meet Nakazawa at his home. Moe is heartbroken at her father's absence, and refuses to accept consolation from Mako, later destroying her present of a picture book hand-made by Mako. Shortly thereafter, Niimi is summoned to meet with Nakazawa, and is astonished to be asked to run as the faction's Diet candidate for Tokyo's 26th district, against the second-ranking member of the Odajima faction, TBD. Niimi initially refuses to run, but is given a week to change his mind. He is promised the campaign assistance of Egawa Hiroyiki, a party secretary who may resent not having been chosen as the candidate. Niimi eventually decides to run. After a short period of campaigning, Egawa upbraids Niimi for his unwillingness to ignore his wife and child, and in particular for refusing to establish a residence in the 26th district. That night, Niima tells Mako of his intention to move out, and refuses to offer explanations for his actions, only apologies.
