Ichikei no Karasu (2021)

Other name: チケイのカラス, Ichikei's Crow

Description:

"Ichikei no Karasu" centers on Iruma Michio, an unconventional criminal judge renowned for his unorthodox and hands-on approach to justice. Driven by a pivotal past case that transformed him into a judge, he personally investigates crime scenes, relentlessly seeking the truth and preventing miscarriages of justice. His methods, unbound by conventional obligations or preconceptions, earn him both fear and respect from legal professionals for his thorough inquiries.

Joining his court is Sakama Chizuru, an elite judge whose precision and adherence to rules stand in stark contrast to Iruma. Transferred to reform the court's remarkably low case closure rate, Chizuru is deeply frustrated by Iruma's seemingly inefficient and informal style. She values prompt and accurate rulings above all, struggling to comprehend his personal inspections and delays. However, as they navigate cases together, Chizuru gradually uncovers Iruma's profound conviction: that every case represents an individual's life. This realization challenges her rigid perspective, forcing her to confront a crucial question about the true role of a judge beyond simply delivering a verdict.
