Komikado Kensuke is back! This time around he faces his biggest challenge yet: defending a woman who most certainly is a murderer and keeping her from getting the death penalty. But the circumstances keep changing so fast even Kensuke might have trouble keeping up. Meanwhile Hanyu, an up-and-coming attorney who had been apprenticing under Kensuke returns to his home with the Prosecutor's office, and is promptly given a case that will pit him again Kensuke. But he also can't quite keep his eyes off the lovely Mayuzumi…
Kensuke finds his next challenge in the form of Ayukawa Hikari, a genius who nevertheless ended up behind bars for awhile. Now released, Ayukawa has picked up a new hobby for himself: suing anyone and everyone who in anyway seemed to defame him. Hanyu, having suffered a loss at Ayukawa’s hands, asks for Kensuke’s help in defending a manga artist who’s latest work is all to similar to Ayukawa’s life. But whether Kensuke will jump in or not remains in the air..
With his firm still struggling along, Kensuke agrees to represent a client Mayuzumi has brought in. A man who wants to divorce his wife after finding out she had cosmetic surgery years before without telling him. Turns out though that the wife in question is being represented by Hanyu and his staff and they are determined to bring a happy ending for the couple. But not if Kensuke has anything to say about it...
Kensuke gets dragged into a case of two neighbors who were once close but now are at each other’s throats. But it seems the Defendant’s lawyer, Hanyu, may have the upper hand in this one since the Presiding Judge is none other than Beppu again, and she seems to have an even larger chip on her shoulder than ever.
Kensuke manages to get a long-time employee of a stationery company to file a lawsuit against his company over a character design that had hit big time. He'll have his hands full though; not because of the case but because Machiko's father stops by to pay a visit and he doesn't like what he sees one bit.
Mayuzumi gets the firm involved in a case she’d rather not deal with: a woman who has 3 husbands and 5 children. The mother of one of the woman’s husbands wants to have her grandson taken out of it, but now that Kensuke’s in charge, she might find that difficult. Meanwhile, while Mayuzumi can’t quite make her decision, Kensuke will end up making it for her.
Now that Mayuzumi has left Kensuke's law firm and joined Hanyu's, she'll soon find herself facing off against her old boss not once, not twice but on three different cases all at the same time! Although Mayuzumi has grown quite a bit, she might find she still has a ways to go if she truly wants to defeat Kensuke.
Hanyu convinces the reluctant Kensuke to join him in a trip out to the backwoods of Japan where they will try to protect a village that has a forest whose status as a World Property site is being threatened. But things quickly go astray when Kensuke decides to help out the opposing side instead and things get even more bizarre when none other than Judge Beppu appears to mediate between the two groups.
Kensuke and Mayuzumi go to the Supreme Court in order to try and free Ando Kiwa at last. But there they find Prosecutor Daigo, the only one who has defeated Kensuke so far, waiting for them and now he's backed by the popular will of the people. His return triggers strong emotions in Kensuke which put him at risk and may lead Machiko to take some dangerous risks of her own.
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.
