This is a radio drama based on a novel by Tanaka Yoshiki, released much
before the anime.
It is a super-natural crime story with extremely satirical look on
Japanese police and bureaucrats, decorated with witty conversation. The
novel is also known for its illustrations by Kakinouchi Narumi, some of
which you can enjoy in the insert.
Yakushiji "Dorayoke Oryou" Ryouko is an elite police officer of Tokyo
Metropolitan Police. She is very beautiful, bright and rich (her
father is an owner of a corporate group and she is its major share
holder) but so impudent and rebellious any one who knows her avoids
her like a pest. If you add Lina Inverse and Mikami Reiko, you will
get someone close to Ryouko. Essentially she is in the police to have
a fun. Probably the only good thing about her character is that her
target is always the rich and powerful (not that she is particularly
keen to protect th poor and weak).
Izumida Jun'ichirou is a poor junior officer (yet older than Ryouko)
who has been assigned to support her. He is treated like a servant
by his "mistress", just like Yokoshima before Mikami, but patiently
helps her solve mysterious cases. He is very able and Ryouko begins
to show some (not a lot) respect to him.
In this radio drama, Ryouko is voiced by Kawakami Tomoko, who seems
just a little too cute for the role. Also Inoue Kazuhiko sounds a
little too cool for Jun'ichirou. Fuchizaki Yuriko is fine for Yukiko
(Ryouko's over-righteous rival) but her combination with Tomoko
reminds me of another show so much.
Yakushiji Ryouko ....... Kawakami Tomoko
Izumida Jun'ichirou ... Inoue Kazuhiko
Muromachi Yukiko ....... Fuchizaki Yuriko
Kishimoto Akira ........ Ueda Yuuji
