You’re a Lawyer, and You Sent the Judge to Prison?!

My Thoughts on You’re a Lawyer, and You Sent the Judge to Prison?!

First Impressions

Okay, so "You’re a Lawyer, and You Sent the Judge to Prison?!" definitely grabbed my attention with that title! It’s a wild premise, and I was eager to dive into a legal comedy with a shounen twist. The tags – calm protagonist, cheats, clever protagonist – all hinted at a fun, engaging read. I was expecting some over-the-top courtroom antics and a protagonist who could outsmart anyone.

What Works Well

The core of this story seems to be the legal cases themselves, and from what I've read, they're pretty engaging. I appreciate that the protagonist isn’t portrayed as invincible. It sounds like he wins through clever arguments and a decent understanding of the law, rather than relying on plot armor. The bank robbery case, in particular, sounds interesting, showcasing how the MC uses existing legal precedents in creative ways. The cases are exciting and the MC does not always win every argument, which makes the story more interesting.

Areas of Concern

While the legal aspects seem promising, I do have some reservations based on a particular element: the female lead. It sounds like she's portrayed as overly infatuated with the MC, and her characterization leans into some potentially problematic tropes. The constant flirting and jokes about her being a "little bunny" definitely raise some red flags. This kind of portrayal can be off-putting, especially when it undermines what could otherwise be a strong, intelligent character. It makes me concerned about the overall balance and treatment of female characters in the story.

Final Verdict

Overall, "You’re a Lawyer, and You Sent the Judge to Prison?!" seems to offer a compelling blend of legal drama and comedy. The clever protagonist and engaging cases are definite strengths. However, the potentially problematic portrayal of the female lead is a significant concern. Whether or not this issue detracts from the overall enjoyment will likely depend on individual preferences. If you can overlook or even enjoy the romantic subplot, this might be a fun read. Otherwise, proceed with caution.
