About This Season

She confidently walked into her new office only to find that her former firm had interfered and taken all her lawyers and staff. They even took away her clients. Takako reluctantly started to handle low-paying divorce cases. Through her cases, though, Takako came face to face with "human drama" and matured greatly.
