Takahashi Maryjun Sizzles in Red: First Look at “Divorce Lawyer Spider” Unveiled
Divorce Lawyer Spider – Compensation Battle Edition Unveils Main Visual and Trailer
The main visual and trailer for the second NTV Friday’s EDGE drama “Divorce Lawyer Spider – Compensation Battle Edition” (starting October 4th, every Friday at 12:35am), starring actress Takahashi Maryjun, were released on the 16th.
This is a completely original and exciting legal entertainment film in which a lawyer with the mottos “zero initial fee” and “alimony is a passport to restart your life” thoroughly crushes “shitty husbands” with unconventional investigations. The protagonist, divorce lawyer Asuka Mikumo (Takahashi), fights thoroughly for women who have been unfairly oppressed and hurt, and mercilessly collects compensation.
The main visual is designed to symbolize the strength of Mikumo’s will, which earned her the nickname “Spider” from other lawyers for her relentless method of collecting compensation from the opposing party for her clients. Mikumo’s powerful gaze in a bright red suit is impressive, and in the background, spider webs that entangle evil are spread out.
Behind Mikumo are paralegal Jun Ikemoto (Kohei Higuchi), who uses his extensive IT knowledge to support her, and freelance investigator Maika Ihara (Nagisa Shibuya), who Mikumo trusts and is skilled at undercover investigations. Mikumo’s ex-husband and key figure lawyer Tatsuya Ichinose (Nobuaki Kaneko), who was the catalyst for her to focus on the divorce defense, is alone, looking in a different direction from the other three, with an enigmatic air about him. The visuals allow us to imagine how the relationship between the two, who divorced right after their wedding ceremony after Tatsuya’s “cheating” was discovered just before the ceremony, will develop in the story.
A preview video was also released for the first time, hinting at Mikumo’s determination in defending her divorce.
