Story
Minowa Bunta, the former chief of a biker gang, does not have a regular job even at 30 and lives away from his birthplace. One day, he is informed of the death of his father who cut ties upon the death of his mother and returns to his hometown of Tsukishima for the first time in 10 years. This is where he learns that he has a 9-year-old step sister, Kana. She is his only family. Minowa is forced to get a steady job for her sake and becomes an office clerk for the lawyer, Takada Natsumi, even though the boss of the law firm, Kudo Yohei, seems to have an ulterior motive … … Natsumi is astonished by Minowa’s lack of common sense, let alone knowledge of the law. Minowa has neither the academic background nor the refinement. Believing all the problems in the world can be solved with love, he tackles troubles such as inheritance, divorce, illegal loans, monster parents and neighbours. In the process of getting pushed around by an out-of-control Minowa who sticks his nose into cases, Natsumi starts to get influenced by his sense of justice and boundless love.
Characters
MATSU as Minowa Bunta
The former chief of a biker gang, he did many naughty things in his youth. He has neither the academic background nor the refinement, but is miraculously employed as an office clerk at Kudo Yohei’s law firm. He is straightforward, full of manliness but very easily moved to tears. After junior high school graduation, he did not get a regular job and was a jack-of-all-trades who almost violated the law. He has no knowledge of the law. At times, he resents this contradiction, but he believes love can solve all the world’s problems. His favourite motto is, “The excessiveness is just right.”
Yamaguchi Sayaka as Takada Natsumi
A strong-minded, knowledgeable and cool lawyer who works at Kudo Yohei’s law firm. Minowa Bunta’s trainer. She set her sights on being a lawyer because of her debating skills and inquiring mind regarding the law rather than her sense of justice. She takes pride as a lawyer who does her best in the interests of her clients. She has little interest in romance and no boyfriend. Although she rarely becomes emotional about things, Minowa’s unanticipated behaviour causes her to lay bare her feelings at the unexpected developments.
Nishimura Masahiko as Kudo Yohei
The boss of the law firm which employed Minowa Bunta. He is a gentlemanly, intellectual, nice gentleman on the outside, but is arrogant, very proud and sadistic on the inside. A shrewd person who is also a consulting lawyer to big corporations, he has a ruthless side and would do whatever it takes to win. He admires Takada Natsumi’s ability, but she witnessed his wrongdoing and developed a sense of aversion. He schemes to kick her out of the firm but the resolution of a case by Minowa Bunta each time, interferes with his plan.
Hara Nanoka as Minowa Kana
Minowa Bunta’s younger step sister. She is grown up for her age and no-nonsense probably because she was put through hardship by their libertine father. A sharp, cynical person, she sees through the deception of adults and does not easily open her heart. She has not ventured to talk about her mother, but has put photos of her into a small box to remember her by.
