Having recently completed the series with Matsumoto Jun being a quiet gentle doctor, it was a surprise to see him as a smartass lawyer who unapologetically gets under the skin of everyone around him. His quirky nature makes him liked and resented in equal measure. I see his ear habit as tuning in his spidey sensor to that 0.1% of truth hidden under all the noise. His love for food and appreciation for perfect seasonings exceeds his love and appreciation for his fellow man. Quirks aside, he has one mission as a lawyer, to find the truth whether or not it benefits his client. For him, there is only one truth for the scenario and he uses every possible means available to him to find out what it is, so that it is incontestable in a court of law and meets his standard of being a lawyer. This series finds him working with a group of very reluctant lawyers except for his personal sidekick trying to finally pass the law exam. An episode at a time, they change their outlooks and habits in questioning clients and investigating for the entire picture rather than the piece that most promotes their client’s interest. I found this an enjoyable watch and liked how they worked together to solve the cases and find true justice for their clients. As the story progresses they start taking pride in their work and see the impact it has on people. The cast does an excellent job of being a group of unique lawyers figuring out how to complement their individual strengths to complete the case successfully and forge understanding between themselves. It is worth the watch if this genre appeals to you
