    a good start
    As someone who enjoys manga with a more grounded, mature tone, It’s Someone Else’s Problem really surprised me. It dives into the world of law—not with flashy courtroom drama—but with a raw, sometimes uncomfortable honesty. The protagonist, a jaded but sharp lawyer, doesn't sugarcoat the legal system. Instead, the manga shows how messy and morally grey real cases can be.

    What stood out most is how each chapter feels like a glimpse into real people’s lives—their selfishness, their desperation, their apathy. It's not always pretty, but it's refreshingly real. The art style is clean and expressive, and while the stories are heavy at times, they never feel preachy.

    It’s a smart, introspective read that made me think about justice in a different way. If you’re looking for something more thought-provoking than action-packed, this one’s worth picking up.

    ネット関連のトラブルバスター
    よくあるネットの掲示板や口コミでの他人への行き過ぎた悪口や誹謗中傷がありますが、あのようなものを訴えることが出来るものなのかと、ハイテクには全く詳しくないほうなので感心しました。主人公の弁護士「保田理」は相談に来た人によく屁理屈こねたり、余計なことを言って怒らせて、助手の加賀見から口や頭を伸ばされる等の折檻を受けるギャグも面白い。しかし依頼を受けたら保田が頼もしくなり、問題を解決させる(解決してなくても依頼人が納得いく結末になる)のはカッコ良さがある。ただし…本編やコラムに難しい解説や専門用語が多く出てくるので、内容に追いつける人は限られるんじゃないかと思う。でも続きが早く見たいほど面白い作品です。

    210万部突破の白泉社の女性漫画!
    「しょせん他人事(ひとごと)」がモットーの弁護士のもとには流行りのSNS系の相談事が多い。キャラクターも豊かで症例も様々。とても面白いんですが、自分はドラマがわかりやすくて良かったです。俳優が経験を踏まえて演じてるだろう雰囲気で深みがありました。心情も感じ取りやすかった。漫画を読んだ後はドラマもお勧めです☆

How well do we really know social media?
Most everyone uses social media nowadays. Making a comment on someone's post seems innocent enough, right? But are you sure you're not hurting whoever's on the receiving end? It's easy to forget that there are real people behind those profile pictures. This title takes you through the real story behind those who have been canceled online, as well as those who have caused it. It's written in a way that's not too serious and makes you laugh at times, but at the same time, makes you think deeply about how you should use social media.
