My 5 Favorite Legal J-Dramas

I love them because they have perfect balance of seriousness and humour, not too dark and not too comedic. And the chemistry of the main leads are fun to watch with their constant bickering. 😂

1. Hero (2001)

Kuryu (Kimura Takuya) is an unconventional prosecutor who has a habit of investigating the criminals himself before prosecuting, which agitates his paralegal, Amamiya (Matsu Takako) has it delays the process while more cases are piling up, and often conflicts with the police who thinks he does not trust their investigation skills.

The series is so good that it has a second season with a newcomer played by Keiko Kitagawa, a special episode with Haruka Ayase and a movie with both Keiko Kitagawa and Matsu Takako. I like their chemistry, not just between the main leads but the supporting characters as well that got pulled into Kimura Takuya's shenanigans.

2. Miss Justice (2018)

A similar tale of a public prosecutor, Ririko (Yoshitaka Yuriko) whose strong sense of justice get in her daily work as she takes time to solve each cases diligently, playing the role of a "detective" to ascertain that the suspects are really guilty before she prosecutes them. However, it only delays her other cases which snowballs.

This agitates her older and experienced paralegal (Yasuda Ken) who is tasked to ensure she completes each task on time without delay. But over time, both him and the entire department who got pulled into her shenanigans finally understands her reasoning and begin to respect her as a fellow prosecutor and not as a newbie.

3. Police and Prosecutor (2023)

Gota (Kiritani Kenta) and Minami (Higa Manami) are siblings who work as a law enforcer and a paralegal respectively. She works for an ambitious public prosecutor, Shuhei (Higashide Masahiro) whose values and principles are opposite of Gota, which often puts them at odds with one another when they work together on every case.

While Minami and Shuhei know the grey world in their line of work, Gota is a brash detective who only sees thing in black and white which often puts them at odds with one another. But their opposing personalities and styles of work eventually help to solve the cases in arresting and prosecuting the right criminal.

4. Ishiko and Haneo (2022)

Ishiko (Kasumi Arimura) is an obstinate law graduate who aspired to be a lawyer but after failing the bar four times, she gives up her dreams and works as a paralegal at her father's private law firm where she met the prodigy Haneo (Nakamura Tomoya) who passed the bar on first attempt due to his photographic memory.

Ishiko is a bit insecure in having to work with a prodigy while Haneo is actually terrible at adapting that he often mask it with his "superior intellectual". Their different personalities and styles of working contradict each other as the two of them, with their own inferiority complexes, are thrown together to solve cases.

5. Binta : Love and Law (2022)

Minowa (Matsumoto Toshio) is a former delinquent who doesn't have a regular job and never really thought seriously about life until he had to look after his young step-sister left behind by his late father. He lands a job as clerk, working for a strong headed lawyer, Natsumi (Yamaguchi Sayaka) who is dumbfounded by his "stupidity".

But his strong sense of justice is a welcoming change that she needed having work in a corporate law firm surrounded by "vultures" that the two decided to start their own private firm to genuinely help people that really need help and not simply for the big money. But with each case, they realize things are not as simple as they think.

Odds and ends from Midori Days 🖐️

“MA・WA・LE・MI・GI“ - Magical Angel Creamy Mami Tribute Album - Creamy Mami & Megumi Duet

The magical girl of the day is Yuu Morisawa/Creamy Mami!

Series: Magical Angel Creamy Mami (1983)

Age: 10, 16 (Creamy Mami)

Seiyuu/VA: Takako Ōta (1983-1987)

A very active and slightly mischievous girl, Yuu finds herself be gifted magical powers after coming across a spaceship. She's gifted magical powers for one year by the alien Pino Pino after helping him find Feather Star and two cats, Posi and Nega. Her status as a idol was sudden, as she's asked to sing while using her teenage alias. "Creamy Mami" soon becomes the hottest topic around, being followed heavily by Partheon Production's president Shingo Tachibana and gains a rival in business, Megumi Ayase.

Both Yuu and Creamy Mami are voiced by Takako Ohta, including for her singing voice. This method was referred to as "media mix", a strategy the show is known for creating by having real life idols play characters in other media in order to help the beginning of their career. Creamy Mami's opening, Delicate ni Sukishite, was Takako's first song just like as it was for Creamy Mami when she debuted in the series.

Seiyuu Challenge #30

We have reached the end! Kind of? There’s a bonus round, and I will be making a compilation post, so there’s that. But this one is the last question on this specific list.

I didn’t know whether this meant newly known to me or to the industry. These aren’t really in any order, but the best ones will be saved for last.

30. A newly known seiyuu who impressed you?

Takako Tanaka, Yoshiki Nakajima, Rie Murakawa (Hinamatsuri)

Takako Tanaka hasn’t worked on a whole lot of other things, but her portrayal of Hina was spot-on, made me laugh so hard, and she was iconic with Yoshiki Nakajima.

On the other hand, I heard of Yoshiki Nakajima thanks to Tumblr, but it was in relation to BL and idol stuff which I don’t dabble in too often.

Rie Murakawa has been on the scene far longer than the other two, so she actually has some more notable roles like Pink Rem-- I mean Ram from Re:Zero and Hotaru Ichijou from Non Non Biyori.

Arisa Date & Kento Itou (Wotakoi)

Apparently, these two have only been active on the idol side of things, but Kento Itou is apparently quite talented in the music realm. He’s a composer, he plays multiple instruments (synth, piano, drums, guitar, etc.), and he now raps as Doppo in Hypnosis Mic.

Aoi Koga (Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai)

This is an anime that just came out this season, and the time of posting this, two episodes are currently out, but anime fans are already saying stuff about her perfect performance as this character. She acts alongside Makoto Furukawa who has already had quite a few notable roles (*cough* Saitama from One Punch Man). Her voice is one of the highlights of the series so far.

Yume Miyamoto, Yuuya Hirose, Reina Ueda (SSSS.Gridman)

Yume Miyamoto has a few minor roles in other anime, and she’s affiliated with the Himawari Theatre Group which I’ll talk about more when I get to my later picks. I hope she gets more roles soon because I like the realistic tone she gave to Rikka.

Yuuya Hirose has had roles here and there as well, but you might’ve heard him in Handa-kun as Junichi Aizawa.

Reina Ueda is actually pretty well-known now, but her presence was made more prominent to me by this anime. I made a birthday post about her a little while back where I talk about a lot of roles she’s done that I haven’t watched.

Character Songs from the cast of Gridman

The cast of Zombieland Saga

There were too many to really list on top, so I’m going to quickly list the newcomers: Asami Tano, Kaede Hondo, Minami Tanaka, Maki Kawase, and Rika Kinugawa. While some of them aren’t completely new, they are relatively new comparing to the others like Hiroyuki Yoshino, Risa Taneda, Mamoru Miyano, and of course, Kotono Mitsuishi.

Idol anime would not be idol anime if it weren’t for the seiyuu behind it, and they made this anime so enjoyable that it was one of my favourites of last year.

Yuuma Uchida

Who wouldn’t route for Maaya Uchida’s little brother?

He’s already making a name for himself, and he did really well in the Summer 2018 season.

Notable Roles: 

Sonic - Kekkai Sensen

Ginshi Shirazu - Tokyo Ghoul: re

Kazuomi Ooga - ReLife

Iori Kithara - Grand Blue

Ash Lynx -Banana Fish

Asami Seto

I haven’t really watched her works, and I didn’t truly realize how good she was until I watched last season’s Seishun Buta Yarou where she played the main girl Mai, and honestly, I’ve been missing out.

Here are some of her other notable roles:

Ayaka Kagari - Witch Craft Works

Raphtalia - Tate no Yuusha

Akira Mado - Tokyo Ghoul

Mai Sakurajima - Seishun Buta Yarou

Shizu Delta - Overlord

Yoshino Takatsuki - Wandering Son

Onna no Kurokami - Death Parade

Ichiyo Higuchi - Bungou Stray Dogs

Chihaya Ayase - Chihayafuru

Sumire Morohoshi

I’ve probably been going on about her since hearing her in Bungou Stray Dogs since she voiced my favourite character in that series. As another member of the Himawari Theatre Group (who had notable people attached like Mamoru Miyano, Ryohei Kimura, Kouki Uchiyama, Yuuto Uemura, Miyu Irino, etc.) she’s clearly talented, and I’ve really liked pretty much everything I’ve watched that she’s worked it.

[I haven’t watched all of these. I’m just putting it as a spotlight on what she’s done so far!]

Nina Tucker - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Mako Akagi - Welcome to the Ballroom

Stella Barklem - Mahoutsukai no Yome

Hinami Fueguchi - Tokyo Ghoul

Ichigo Hoshimiya - Aikatsu Stars

Popuko - Pop Team Epic (EP 8-A)

Hitoka Yachi - Haikyuu

Ann Magnolia - Violet Evergarden

Emma - The Promised Neverland

Kyouka Izumi - Bungou Stray Dogs

Title A Kiss For The Petals: Maidens of Michael Developer Yurin Yurin Publisher MangaGamer Release Date February 22nd, 2018 Genre Visual Novel, Yuri, Eroge Platform Windows Age Rating 18+ Official Website

The A Kiss For The Petals series, known as Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o in Japanese, is a long-running series of yuri visual novels developed initially by doujin creator group Fuguriya, later taken up by the group’s commercial brand Yurin Yurin for larger commercial releases in the series. As one might expect from a series initially created by a doujin group, the majority of the over 20 games in the series are very short, focusing on a single event with a single pair of characters. However, there are currently three larger releases featuring multiple pairs. The most recent of these was released in English as A Kiss For The Petals: The New Generation! by MangaGamer back in 2016. A Kiss For The Petals: Maidens of Michael is the first of these such games, first released in 2012. (The other longer game, Shirayuki no Kishi from 2013, hasn’t been released in English yet.) It stars all five pairs for the previous games, as well as the first introduction of Risa Azumi and Miya Ayase, also featured in A Kiss For The Petals: Remembering How They Met. I’m a yuri fan myself, but my experience is more with manga, and this is one of the first yuri visual novels I’ve read.

While Risa and Miya are the primary focus of Maidens of Michael, after completing their story you can see the stories for the other five couples: Nanami Oda and Yuuna Matsubara, Sara and Kaede Kitajima, Mai Sawaguchi and Reo Kawamura, Shizuku Kirishima and Eris Shitogi, and Takako Suminoe and Runa Houraisen. They’re all students at St. Michael Girls’ School, with the exception of Takako and Runa, who are a respectively a teacher and student at St. Michael’s middle school annex. The students at the school vote the aforementioned couples in a “St. Michael’s Best Couples” event, particularly shocking Risa since she thought she and Miya were constantly arguing and butting heads. The couples end up comprising the Events Planning Committee, and the story follows them as they put together the school’s Christmas, Valentine’s and graduation festivals, while Risa and Miya discover their real feelings for each other.

Yeah, this is a normal question for a teacher to be asking her students.

Something somewhat awkward about Maidens of Michael is that, with the exception of Risa and Miya, all the previous couples had been introduced in earlier games which have never been officially translated. While the previous games are not necessarily required reading to understand the story – I was able to get through it pretty easily – the game does seem to assume a certain degree of prior familiarity with the characters, although there’s not a huge amount of story to be caught up on to begin with. If there’s any important information or backstory for a couple aside from “these two girls are dating” it’s generally provided, and if this game is any indication there’s likely not a ton of depth to the previous stories anyway.

I’m not sure if I’d exactly call it an issue that I have with the game, but the nature of the story is something that definitely stood out to me. With the exception of Risa and Miya, the stories in general seem very inconsequential, like they’re a lot of momentary drama but lack any lasting significance. There’s plenty of cute yuri to be had here, both romance and H-scenes, but I personally wish the stories felt like they carried more lasting weight, while most of the drama seems to come from simple misunderstandings and lack of communication. There’s not much that I think will stay with me having finished the game, or that really stood out as exceptional.

I wish I got to see more of this face.

It seems like it would be rather a unique problem with the A Kiss For The Petals series, and with Maidens of Michael being one of the only games to have received an official English release. Risa and Miya are the only couple that receives any significant degree of development, since this is their first appearance and it goes through a full romantic arc for them. Meanwhile that same development and romantic arc are implied to have already happened for the other couples in the earlier games. As a result, there’s not much development in these couples to be seen, with the routes centered around seemingly somewhat isolated events.

However, even if Maidens of Michael‘s drama feels somewhat inconsequential and the characters don’t get much development, that doesn’t mean they aren’t appealing. Since the majority of the story revolves around events involving the five main student couples, there’s a lot of interactions between them, which are enjoyable to see even if most of them don’t receive the full introductions from their earlier games. It’s fun to see the interactions between the couples, and it provides more than adequate introduction to everyone before you read their individual routes. The individual routes show these friendships as well, with the girls often helping each other get through the issues and misunderstandings that come up in their relationships. Even if the problems seem to lack significance, it’s still heartwarming to see them resolved, as they reaffirm and strengthen their relationships even if things aren’t always perfect.

Choices like this come up from time to time, but it’s usually pretty obvious what’s the right choice.

As for the H-scenes, Maidens of Michael has good number of them for each couple. That being said, they’re all pretty vanilla, and after doing 6 routes the H-scenes all tend to feel somewhat the same and blur together. Aside from the different pairs themselves and their own unique dynamics, most of them feel somewhat bland, especially the several times when it seems like there’s very little transition from regular scene into an H-scene. All that being said, if you’re mainly here for the yuri, as many playing the game likely will be, you’ll probably be satisfied. However, for me, even as a yuri fan, the H-scenes started to lose their shine after seeing enough of them across the six routes.

The music is inoffensive, but it feels generic and uninteresting. None of it is particularly memorable, but it’s not intrusive and generally makes decent background music. The vocal opening and credits themes are fine, but nothing fantastic. I have a hard time commenting on the voice acting, considering I don’t speak Japanese, but it seems as good as any, although none of the voices particularly stood out.

Rena is a teacher who’s known for very normal interactions with her students.

Ultimately, I feel like I probably would’ve enjoyed Maidens of Michael more if I had played the previous games in the series. I’ve played Remembering How We Met, so I was at least somewhat familiar with Risa and Miya, but considering they’re introduced in this game that’s not especially important here. All of the previous games have been fan translated, so it’s possible to play them, if you’re willing to track down the games and patches. The characters are appealing as it is, and important story points are summarized in the game, but I think that the stories in particular would’ve resonated more with me if I’d played the other games. That being said, it’s still not a bad introduction to the characters and the A Kiss For The Petals series as a whole, and even if they seem somewhat inconsequential the stories are still enjoyable and heartwarming to read. With its multiple routes it’s longer than most of the other games in the series, similar to The New Generation! – I don’t know exactly how long my playthrough took, but VNDB lists it in the 10-30 hour length category. While it’s definitely not the best yuri I’ve ever read, it’s decent for $34.99 USD. It will be even better if we get the earlier games officially translated at some point, but as it stands A Kiss For The Petals: Maidens of Michael is still not a bad choice for yuri fans.
