During my quest to find more Ayano Go and Hoshino Gen content after watching MIU404, I came across this May 20, 2020 Issue of the anan magazine online:

not relevant but i'm kinda emotional as it's the same day that i'd started learning japanese😭

The magazine is currently sold out on CD Japan, but I found a copy available on eBay (i'm adding it to my wishlist to buy someday in the future).

Further digging on Twitter and Pinterest led me to these GORGEOUS spreads in this issue:

A Fascinated Police Buddy Drama : "MIU404"

MIU404 is one of my favorite TV dramas.

First of all, unfortunately I probably can't describe less than half of fascinating of MIU404. But you read my recommendation and if you feel MIU404 only a little bit interesting, you should watch the drama.

MIU is short for Mobile Investigation Unit, 404 is a call sign of protagonists IBUKI Ai(performed by AYANO Go) and SHIMA Kazumi(performed by HOSHINO Gen).

IBUKI and SHIMA are police officers. They solve each cases in each episodes.

MIU404 surprises me, shock me, makes me tears, makes me laugh/smile and satisfies me every time I watch. If you want to be excited, I recommend you Episode 1. Watching episode 2, you can't help crying with all your energy. When you watch episode 3-5, you will deeply think about your life. Episode 6 and 8 make you mixed feeling. Episode 9-11 may be a little complicated, but you will be definitely satisfied when you finish watching them. However, I'm confident that all of episodes have all aspects of every feeling.

Especially l'm impressed with episode 6(2020/7/31 broadcasted). SHIMA Kazumi's former buddy KOSAKA has been passed before the beginning of this drama. SHIMA and his former coworkers think that reason why KOSAKA was killed is SHIMA. That's why SHIMA is rumored "Aibo Goroshi(buddy killer)". IBUKI investigates truth of case of KOSAKA.

Because of IBUKI's investigation, finally SHIMA understood KOSAKA's true belief. In our (audience's) view, SHIMA who had felt guilty seems to be healed by IBUKI.

However, ending of the episode, he sited on a place KOSAKA's body was found and said 「お前の相棒が伊吹みたいなやつだったらな(If your buddy was a person like IBUKI, you would not be passed away.)」 So I listened this line and recognized that SHIMA was never healed.

Just after episode 6 broadcasted, I searched "#MIU404" on Twitter and I found NOGI Akiko (MIU404 screenwriter) 's tweet.

Before episode 6 broadcasted on TV, NOGI Akiko had posted following comment on Twitter.

Before episode 6 broadcasted, MIU404 official Twitter account posted "Mr.IBUKI, we hope that you heal Mr.SHIMA!" On 2020/07/29, Ms.Nogi did quote tweet the post and posted "Human can't so much easily heal someone and aren't healed."

In my view, MIU404 shows that human always make mistakes, choose wrong choices and worry whether their choice is right, but they get back on their feet as many times even if their choice is not correct.
