Shiba Ryoma, a genius lawyer, cleared the bar exam with the highest score while attending university and became the youngest co-partner at a major law firm. He is valued as a legal advisor to numerous major clients. One day, Shiba meets Haruto, a mysterious genius con artist, at a bar. Haruto invites Shiba, who is looking for a capable work partner, saying, "You can be my partner." Buying Haruto's talent for pretending to be someone else, Shiba decides to keep Haruto in his home. A life together with his secret partner begins. Shiba, who is new to romance, is gradually poisoned by Haruto, who is very sweet and devoted to his "owner" no matter what danger he encounters. Two people who are complete opposites become secret partners and solve troubles in a thrilling way. Haruto gradually begins to love Shiba's sensitivity and clumsiness and is drawn to him. As a tsundere with no experience in love, Shiba is frustrated by his inability to express the feelings he gradually develops for Haruto. Eventually, the two will come face to face with great evil.

Legally Yours!

This was an entertaining blend of drama and comedy with a refreshing plot (not a university BL).

Ryoma was an interesting character. He is a passionate lawyer with a very peculiar relationship with his succulents. He has that classic tsundere energy but deep down is such a softie. On the other hand, Haruto is charming yet mysterious, hiding his secrets until the last few episodes. Even though it was pretty obvious that Haruto had ulterior motives when he first contacted Ryoma, I couldn’t help but side with him. The suspense added intrigue, but I do feel like they revealed his secrets a bit too late, and what followed after , felt rushed.

The chemistry between the leads Ryoma and Haruto, was so palpable!
Their relationship was beautiful. The way Ryoma risked everything for Haruto and trusted him despite all odds against them was touching. It shows how pure and strong their love is. And Haruto, who initially approached Ryoma for his own reasons, ends up staying and going to great lengths for him. They both needed the calm warmth and unconditional emotional support the other provided. There were moments that gave me second-hand embarrassment, but it was filled with that perfect mix of laughs and swoon-worthy moments.

While their romance had its ups and downs, I do think the pacing of their relationship was a bit fast. But considering the 19-minute episode length, it’s understandable.

Overall, this was a pleasant surprise. Though it has its flaws mainly with pacing and some ambiguous character intentions, it still managed to keep me hooked with its great chemistry and decent comedic moments.
If you're looking for something light and fun, I’d definitely recommend it! It’s the kind of show that’s better binged rather than watching one 20-minute episode a week.

Plot Might Ruin it.

I'm on episode 6 and they're actually trying to put something in the story, which I'm fine with, but this BL was never about story in the first place, this BL is good because it's funny, absurd and too over the top (In a good way) I hope they don't loose this charm just so for the plot progresses. (To put simply this show is actually a feel good show despite the title, and in the anime world this would probably be like Kono Suba good because it's funny. It's very funny if you're not too critical.
(Edit) Episode 7 OMG it's still in it's A game comedy wise.
(Edit) Episode 8 OMG it just got even better ahhhhh, this is what actual romcom, Watch it TRUST, ahhhh

IM FROM THE FUTURE NO NEED TO WORRY GUYS JUST WATCH AND ENJOY.
