Story & Plot

When Kurumi Fukuga was in middle school, her mother secretly traded foreign exchange on margin with the family's savings. The Lehman Brothers crash wiped out 20 million yen, and her mother did not survive the loss. Kurumi grew up with that number hanging over her family.

Now Kurumi is a 20-year-old university student, and she has decided to take the money back from the market itself. She studies hard, she analyses charts calmly, and she is sure she can win where her mother lost. Then the market moves, her unrealised losses grow, the forced liquidation line creeps closer, and the calm analyst disappears.

She is not alone at the screen. Mochiko Kogane, a cool and wealthy student investor, Mebuki Yamashi, a cheerful beginner who treats trading like a game, and Yasuko Takane, a sharp-tongued investment blogger who has been burned before, all trade beside her. The charts keep moving, and every episode asks the same question: can Kurumi survive a world that flips from heaven to hell in a second? The series treats its subject honestly. Trading here is not a get-rich trick. It is a dangerous game, and the show never hides what it cost this family.
