Synopsis

Four sisters with a strong sense of justice fight the good fight!
In a world that’s black and white, they try to set everything aright!
Haruko (Shigeru Muroi) has three younger sisters: Natsue (Yuko Asano), Akiyo (Akiko Matsumoto), and Fuyumi (Yumiko Shaku). When Haruko learns that she only has six months left to live, she summons her siblings, who very reluctantly agree to their older sister’s last wish. Like the heroines on such TV shows as Charlie’s Angels and manga series Playgirl and Cat’s Eye, Haruko wants to “set the world aright by punishing evildoers!” And so the four become the “Watch-out Sisters”, relying on their wits and humor as weapons to solve cases. Recently, they’ve battled internet slander against Natsue’s Italian restaurant and a skimming scam operation. They also have Chef Mamoru (Ken Miyake), who cooks up “strategic recipes” to help the sisters deal with problems like marriage fraud and bullying. What kind of case will cry out for their attention next? As the four women carry out their bold plans with flamboyant disguises, viewers will chuckle along and shed a few tears
