Legal High

Legal High (2012-2013)

EndedScripted showComedy, Legal

Of all the law related dramas inside and outside of the country, a majority of lawyers are depicted as heroes, either bringing tears to your eyes helping the weak underdog, or trying to advocate justice to the extreme. This has led the general public to view lawyers with eyes of respect and envy.

However, the main character of "Legal High!!" stands miles away from that stereotypical identity of a lawyer. Komikado Kensuke is stubborn, abusive in his language, sarcastic, moody, and an extravagant spender. To the contrary, he has never lost a case in his life. A genius at bargaining and building strategy, winning is everything to Kensuke. His love for money, fame, and women obviously collects the dislikes of other professionals in the field. Kensuke loathes the textbook of justice the young lawyers try to brandish.

Unexpectedly, Mayuzumi Machiko is a lawyer who passed her bar exam through hard studies. She is overly earnest in her mission of saving the weak, and rather clumsy and incapable of planning ahead. Her lack of versatility and strong righteousness drives her reckless, without compromise to her convictions. Passionate and determined, she is the complete opposite of Kensuke's character.

"Justice is the winner," Kensuke stands by this belief without doubt. Despite the skepticism he receives for his sensational efforts, the people surrounding him begin to see that their view was but a pipe dream. In the courtroom, Kensuke reminds us of the feeling we had all forgotten: To fight with all our energy and to never give up.

The Seesaw Final Courtroom! Tenaciously Save the Client! Is Truth a Tragedy or Comedy!?

Hanyu has managed to outmaneuver Kensuke and forced him out of the trial for Ando Kiwa. Kensuke, of course, isn't about to take that lying down; especially not when his perfect record of wins is at stake. But he'll find the way back into the ring difficult, what with Hanyu's ever-growing stature blocking the way. Still, if there's one thing Kensuke is good at, it's finding a backdoor method to what he wants.
