Netflix-Bound 'Minami Nanda Lawyer Is a Genius' Reveals Poster, muque Theme
The adaptation of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" arrives with its lead, key visuals, and theme already fixed, so Fuji TV is selling a familiar premise on Ashida and muque rather than on novelty.
Reporting from 1 source: Cinema Today.
Manami Ashida stars in the Kantele and Fuji TV Monday 10pm drama "Minami Nanda Lawyer is a Genius," which begins airing on October 19 and streams worldwide on Netflix. A poster visual shows Minami walking among whales drawn by ShiShi Yamazaki, and the trailer shows her introducing herself. The three-piece band muque wrote the theme song "Iin ja nai."
The Japanese remake of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" has its lead in place: Manami Ashida plays Minami Nanda, a rookie lawyer with autism spectrum disorder who solves difficult cases through her own perspective. Fumiya Takahashi plays her colleague Minato Funai, and Akihiro Kakuta plays her father Makoto.
The poster shows Minami on her morning commute surrounded by whales, which she loves, with Minato and Makoto watching over her. Artist ShiShi Yamazaki, who worked on the opening for the serial TV novel "Tora ni Tsubasa," drew the whales. The band muque wrote the theme song "Iin ja nai."
