Reborn Legal: The Bad-Boy Attorney’s Vengeance(The Third Multiverse)

One year after his murder, Yugen awakens in a rundown Sagamihara law firm—reborn in the body of Bengoshi Yato, a low-tier attorney infamous for his temper and poor legal strategy. Worse, Yugen discovers that his former life has been completely erased. His name has vanished from public records, his old office now belongs to his rival Takashi, and Takashi has become a celebrated attorney.Rather than confront Takashi immediately, Yugen begins rebuilding his influence from the bottom. Toriyama notices Bengoshi’s suddenly refined manners, Raku constantly offers him candy while discussing mundane municipal cases, and Kichi quietly realizes that her new colleague possesses knowledge far beyond what Bengoshi should have. Still, she chooses not to expose him.Yugen begins targeting the seemingly insignificant cases handled by Takashi’s junior associates. Using obscure procedural rules, overlooked precedents, and tiny errors in opposing counsel’s paperwork, he turns minor civil and municipal disputes into surgical victories. Each loss quietly drains Takashi’s firm of money, credibility, and favorable precedents.His revenge becomes part of his new daily life. Yugen plans legal traps over late-night meals with Raku, tolerates Toriyama’s teasing, and listens to Takamura Samani’s music during his commute. But his greatest opportunity arrives when he encounters Ijiwaruna, one of the key figures in Takashi’s corrupt network. She fails to recognize him and dismisses Bengoshi as an insignificant attorney.Yugen exploits her arrogance.He secretly constructs a legal trap around a rigged zoning trial, planting a trail of procedural filings that makes Ijiwaruna’s attempt to manipulate the verdict impossible to hide.
