Synopsis: Toyokawa Etsushi and Ito Hideaki appear together for the first time in what is a never-before-seen lawyer-oriented drama. The original work by Iura Hideo, “Bengoshi no Kuzu,” is currently being published by Big Comic Original. Our main character, Kuzu Motohito–aka “scum lawyer”–will do just about anything if it means he can win in court. Lawyers aren’t on the side of justice! The law isn’t meant to punish people, it’s meant to save them! At least, that’s this guy’s secret motto. High school drop-out, lover of money and women, rude demeanor, and a vulgar mouth. This ridiculous excuse for a lawyer (played by Toyokawa Etsushi) has his first challenge in this comedy as the character Kuzu Motohito. And then there’s Takeda Masami (played by Ito Hideaki) who works with Kuzu; Takeda Masami is a wet behind the ears lawyer who is touched by the very idea of justice. Takashima Reiko plays the capable female lawyer, Kato Tetsuko. “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry…a satisfying Legal Human Comedy that breaks through all the rules of the legal world.”
