To celebrate the theatrical release, Ichikei’s Crow, starring Yutaka Takenouchi returns to screens for the first time in a year and a half in a brand new special drama!

Set in Kumamoto, one year after Michio Iruma was transferred out of “Ichikei”. Whilst Michio is busy vigorously conducting trials at the Kumamoto District Court 2nd Branch, a case of grievous bodily harm arises, revolving around a young man named Haruto Suwa who intervened in a gang fight and is in critical condition. The suspect, Wataru Uchida, pleads guilty to the charges, and on the surface, it appears to be a cut and dry case that will result in a suspended sentence. However, as the investigation proceeds, it becomes clear that Wataru initially denied the charges during his police interrogation. Sensing there is more to the story and doubting the suspects’ guilt, Michio activates his authority and begins his own investigation.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Yoshio Komazawa (Fumiyo Kohinata), the head judge of “Ichikei”, is deliberating over a personal injury case between employees of the large company "Hoshizumi Holdings." The employees belonged to factions of the next company president candidates, and the case resembles a war by proxy. The parties involved, Shigeyuki Oyabu (Kazuki Kitamura) and Natsuko Shimazu (Anne Nakamura) only care about ending the trial as quickly as possible, which makes Komazawa even more irritated.

From these two completely unrelated cases, an unexpected connection arises. When things finally come to trial, what dreadful heartbreak and deep darkness is hidden at the center of these cases?
