Kuryu Kohei is a young prosecutor who gets transferred to a division in Tokyo from Aomori. Unlike a typical prosecutor, he takes his cases seriously in a non-serious way.

Although earning a reputation as a bad apple, the influence from Kuryu's strong pursuit of justice slowly begins to change things around him.

Season 2

Kuryu Kohei returns to Tokyo Prosecutor's Office once again. There are familiar faces, but also new faces who will be working with him this time round. One of them is paralegal, Asagi Chika, who is now in charge of going along with Kuryu's whims.
