Hiiragi holds the belief that understanding people is essential to being a good lawyer, a philosophy that often leads her to spend significant time on individual cases, impacting her professional efficiency. Upon arriving at the law school, her teaching methods are met with resistance from students who prioritize bar exam preparation over her human-centric approach. She frequently clashes with Jin Aoi (Yuki Yamada), a popular professor at the same institution whose teaching style emphasizes efficiency, sometimes at the expense of students who struggle to keep pace.
