2013 Special
Apr 13, 2013
One day, her student Kogure Kazuhiko (Sueoka Takuto) falls from the rooftop. Kazuhiko was on the rooftop with some other male students who say that he was jumping to the neighbouring school building but missed it and fell. Fortunately, although Kazuhiko ends up with a fracture leg and ribs, he is in a stable condition. However, in order to protect its public image, the school explains to Kazuhiko’s mother Hidemi (Horiuchi Keiko) that it was not bullying but an accident caused by a caper with friends. Kazuhiko has a fear of heights and would not have done something like that. Hidemi, who is skeptical of the school’s explanation, consults Mayuzumi Machiko (Aragaki Yui). Machiko is an enthusiastic lawyer with a sense of justice and readily agrees to undertake this case. However, she is not confident that she is going to win this alone and seeks the help of Komikado Kensuke (Sakai Masato). Komikado cuts her off by telling her that he hates kids and schools, but he accepts the case in the end. On the other hand, the school gets Miki Choichiro (Namase Katsuhisa) to represent it. Miki, who has had bitter experiences with Komikado in previous trials, burns with exceptional hostility. He decides to entrust this case to the lawyer Teshigawara Isao (Kitaoji Kinya). Komikado has never lost in a trial. Standing in court in high spirits, he sees the presiding judge Beppu Toshiko (Hirosue Ryoko) and is astounded. Komikado who has a great love for females had once tried to pick Toshiko up at a ski resort while on a vacation but was unceremoniously dumped. Toshiko’s impression of Komikado puts him at a great disadvantage before the case is fought in court.

Season 1
Of all the law related dramas inside and outside of the country, a majority of lawyers are depicted as heroes, either bringing tears to your eyes helping the weak underdog, or trying to advocate justice to the extreme. This has led the general public to view lawyers with eyes of respect and envy. However, the main character of "Legal High!!" stands miles away from that stereotypical identity of a lawyer. Komikado Kensuke is stubborn, abusive in his language, sarcastic, moody, and an extravagant spender. To the contrary, he has never lost a case in his life. A genius at bargaining and building strategy, winning is everything to Kensuke. His love for money, fame, and women obviously collects the dislikes of other professionals in the field. Kensuke loathes the textbook of justice the young lawyers try to brandish. Unexpectedly, Mayuzumi Machiko is a lawyer who passed her bar exam through hard studies. She is overly earnest in her mission of saving the weak, and rather clumsy and incapable of planning ahead. Her lack of versatility and strong righteousness drives her reckless, without compromise to her convictions. Passionate and determined, she is the complete opposite of Kensuke's character. "Justice is the winner," Kensuke stands by this belief without doubt. Despite the skepticism he receives for his sensational efforts, the people surrounding him begin to see that their view was but a pipe dream. In the courtroom, Kensuke reminds us of the feeling we had all forgotten: To fight with all our energy and to never give up.
