Divorce Chaser
Hakamada Yukio is a competent, mysterious lawyer who only handles settlement cases because of past experiences.

But if a client is able to have genuine resolve, I’ll certainly get the compensation and give the push for a fresh start” is the basis for the problems that he solves one after another.
