Synopsis

This drama about youth has a law institute for budding lawyers as its setting. The young protagonists, of different ages and backgrounds, shed sweat and tears in taking on the challenge of standing up against humans and grappling with the challenges of life.

They’re young rookie attorneys. The 23-year old Kaede, who up to then had been an ordinary office worker, musters up her courage and passes the bar exam, entering the law institute together with her classmates, who all seem to be extremely able. When the first day’s classes finish there are seven eccentric colleagues gathered around Kaede. These very different and very individualistic people engage in heated discussions, fall in love, carry out their battles and take makeup exams in the common life they share in the classrooms and dormitories.

Any period of life is like adolescence and we’re all beginners in life, no matter how old we are.
