Legal Beat: Gyakuten no Hotei (2026)

Other name: Riigaru Biito: Gyakuten no Houtei

Description:

Wanting to help people who cannot speak up for themselves, Taichi Sora becomes a lawyer. Although he passes the bar exam on his first attempt, his job search ends in disappointment because his stutter makes it difficult for him to perform well in interviews. Eventually, he finds his way to an unconventional, struggling law firm. There, he is welcomed by the firm’s director, Yukimura Asumi, who insists that “the law cannot save people,” and the brilliant but eccentric lawyer Hoshi Hideyuki, who proudly declares that he never takes on a case he cannot win. This unlikely team finds itself handling difficult cases that expose the darker side of modern society. While Taichi has long struggled with the frustration of being unable to express himself, he possesses one unique advantage: when he speaks in the rhythm of rap, his stutter disappears, allowing him to communicate freely.
