世界上最美的一夜

故事发生在一个名为要村的小小村落之中，水野一八（田口智朗 饰）是一名新闻记者，因为职位调动，被调往了稻穗新闻要村分局。这个人口稀少的小镇哪有什么新闻好报道呢？一八抵达要村当晚，局里为他在天女小酒馆举行了欢迎会，一八就此结识了酒馆的老板娘辉子（月船沙罗罗 饰），辉子所散发出了神秘气场令一八深深的着迷。 　　然而，辉子在村里的口碑却并不好，这里四处流传着她曾经杀死过自己的未婚夫，还和某种邪恶的新兴宗教有着勾结的流言蜚语。一八决定将辉子作为自己的调查对象，就此展开了调查，在此过程中，一八震惊的得知了辉子的秘密。Its streets overrun with children, the village of Kaname has distinguished itself with the highest birth rate in Japan. Its citizens are excited-tomorrow, the Prime Minister arrives to formally celebrate Kaname's demographic distinction. The spirit is festive, except for one 14-year-old girl. She knows the secret of Kaname's fecundity, and she's typing up a tell-all letter to a prominent journalist, revealing the crazy, complicated tale. It all began 14 years ago... Betrayed and disgraced, big-city reporter Kazuya Mizuno is banished to a desk at Kaname's boring little town newspaper. But Kaname isn't as boring as it seems on the surface. Not with characters around like Shimeko, a girl genius with a childlike lack of propriety, and her ace fisherman/folk-singer dad. Or the overbearing and unpleasant local Shinto priest, a former Christian cultist. Or Endo, Kazuya's new colleague, a bitter drunk after his son's suicide. Or Kin, a former (?) Marxist terrorist, now a hermit on his boat engaging in secret "research." Or perhaps most importantly Teruko, the hypnotically beautiful bar owner, the focus of all manner of innuendo and intrigue. Something mysterious, even mystical, is going on Kaname, and hapless Kazuya is about to be thrown into the middle of it.
