Kurosagi is based on a young man
seeking revenge on the "shirosagi" (or white swindlers who swindle by
defrauding others) by swindling them out of most if not all of their money. Six
years prior to the show, Kurosaki's father was swindled out of his money...
because of this, his father killed Kurosaki's mother and sister followed by
committing suicide himself. Kurosaki then becomes a swindler himself, a
kurosagi (The Black Swindler who swindles other swindlers). By doing this he
helps the innocent people who got swindled by the culprits and gets their money
back. In this whole scheme, Kurosagi is met with a stubborn grad student,
pursuing to be a prosecutor.
