Synopsis: Sanpuu Minami, a renowned shojo manga artist mistakenly believed to be a woman by many, is revealed to be Eichizen Gotaro—a single father with two children. His life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a court notification appointing him as a prosecutor’s office examiner. Faced with a looming manga deadline, Gotaro’s request for withdrawal is denied due to a lack of special circumstances.

Reluctantly, he joins 11 other randomly selected ordinary Japanese citizens on the Prosecution Review Board, each exuding unique personalities. Initially harboring a negative attitude, Gotaro gradually gains appreciation for the job’s significance as he delves into the thoughts of those involved in the cases. The series explores the intersection of a manga artist’s life with the challenges and insights of serving as a prosecutor’s office examiner.”
