Description:

Hero is a captivating drama that follows Kohei Kuryu, a former juvenile delinquent turned unconventional prosecutor. After dropping out of junior high, Kuryu earns his high school equivalency diploma and passes the law board exams. Unlike typical prosecutors, Kuryu wears casual clothes and relies on his street-smart instincts and cleverness. His life takes a turn when he is transferred to the division of Maiko Amamiya, a shrewd and ambitious public prosecutor aiming for a promotion to deputy prosecutor.

While Kuryu has the potential for advancement due to his top-notch work, his unprecedented behavior and unorthodox methods quickly halt his career progress, earning him a reputation as a bad apple. However, Kuryu’s unwavering pursuit of justice and unique charm slowly begin to transform his colleagues, including Amamiya. Packed with love, laughs, and deep emotion, Hero explores how an outsider can redefine justice and inspire change in a rigid legal system.
