Plot

Kenji Shiratori (played by Hayato Isomura) is a lawyer at a small firm. Since childhood, he has possessed a unique sensitivity that allows him to perceive colors or scents from letters and sounds. This trait, combined with a history of difficulty fitting into social groups, led him to develop a deep-seated distrust of schools, eventually causing him to stop attending. His life changes when he is assigned to work as a school lawyer at a high school where he interacts with teacher Suzu Koda (Mayu Hotta) and chairperson Misao Ozaki (Goro Inagaki). While Kenji is accustomed to the clear-cut nature of legal proceedings, his new role forces him to navigate the complex, often ambiguous social dynamics involving students, faculty, and parents.
