The story is set in the Shimane Prefecture, which supposedly has the
fewest lawyers in all of Japan. Hard-working and righteous Yamazaki
Mizuho, the protagonist, travels around by bicycle to help her clients.
Shimane
is one of the least populated prefectures of Japan, and it also has the
least lawyers. Yamazaki Mizuho is going to be the prefecture's 27th
lawyer! Among other reasons, she chose to practice in Shimane due to her
fascination with the writer Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), who took the
Japanese name Koizumi Yakumo. Yakumo loved Shimane and wrote many works
about Japan when he lived there in his later life. Mizuho has a lot of
passion for her work, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to help
her clients!
