Misako Ayukawa is an English teacher with ironically poor English skills. She values herself over her students, and money over love. She displays arrogance in front of her students, but acts pleasantly around her peers and family. However, Ayukawa possesses a brilliant mind for solving puzzles. She ends up tackling various cases around the school along with three of her top students.

Okay, so here's the thing. Contrary to my better judgement, I enjoyed this show because I adore Ishihara Satomi. If she wasn't in this one, I might have been bored out of my mind.
That being said, although this was a poor rip-off of Trick, there were still some good moments. If you love Satomi-chan, then watch it. If not, pass by without a glance.

It's the same old routine in each episode. There's nothing to look forward to towards the end. You don't even know anything about the characters' backgrounds. No depth at all and after seeing the same things over and over again, you just get bored.

For someone who has watched Trick 1-3, this drama just wasn't up to par. This drama lacked a solid plot, the characters were very shallow, and there was too much randomness going around. In fact, if you watched any episode in a random order, the story would still be the same. Its the same repetitive story of her following students to get a treasure/prize after solving a word puzzle every time but faces someone always trying to kill everyone off. I would recommend watching Trick if this is your type of drama, but for all others please stay away because this drama is really a puzzle to watch.
