The Sonata of Atonement - The Lawyer in Hell
悪魔の弁護人 御子柴礼司 ～贖罪の奏鳴曲～
Corruption, outrageous fees, and absolute victory in the courtroom.
The devil’s courtroom drama begins now.
Laid off from her temp job, Yoko Kusakabe is now unemployed. She’s introduced to a clerical position through a public employment agency, so she arrives at the doorstep of a law firm for her interview. Reiji Mikoshiba, the head of the law firm, is sitting quietly. “Right on time. You’re hired.”
Yoko—who has no idea what is happening—finds herself hired as an office worker for the Mikoshiba Law Firm. But this place is the law firm of the corrupt lawyer known as “the lawyer in hell”.
Then, one day, Mikoshiba gains interest in “the Setagaya Husband Murder”. The defendant is Akiko Tsuda, your run-of-the-mill tired housewife. Falling in love with her boss at her part-time job, she dreamed of leaving her husband and daughter to marry him—thus stabbing her husband to death.
The victim’s father, who lives in the neighborhood, happened to visit and discover the incident. Based on how the corpse was laid on a blue tarp, the court judged that the defendant planned to cover up the incident. She was given a heavy punishment at her first trial: 16 years of imprisonment with manual labor.
Mikoshiba forcefully takes over the case from another lawyer. Yoko is curious about why he’s so fond of such a self-centered perpetrator, but Mikoshiba tells her nothing.
And right away, Mikoshiba has a face-to-face meeting with the defendant, where he realizes something. “Akiko Tsuda is hiding something...
