Synopsis

[edit]

Set in the modern Japanese legal world, the series follows Taiza Kujo (九条 間人, Kujō Taiza), a lawyer living in a tent on a building rooftop, as he tackles difficult cases involving clients such as members of organized crime groups, semi-yakuza, and ex-convicts. Together with Shinji Karasuma (烏丸 真司, Karasuma Shinji)—a lawyer who graduated at the top of his class from the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Law and is currently staying at his office—he takes on a series of cases involving the darker side of society, including fatal drunk-driving accidents, drug-related crimes, and fraud at nursing homes.
