I’m currently serializing *Red Soles in Court: Can a Magical Girl Cancel Her Contract?*
This story follows a former magical girl whose life was turned upside down, as she takes the small magical creature that made her a magical girl to court.
Sitting in the defendant’s seat is what looks, at first glance, like an adorable mascot.
But the question being argued in court is a much heavier one:
“Was the contract signed by a thirteen-year-old girl truly made of her own free will?”
*Red Soles in Court* is a fantasy legal series that explores the disputes and legal questions that arise in a fantasy world through serious courtroom proceedings and legal institutions.
And this world is not told only from the perspective of lawyers.
**Leila Grantz, the lawyer in red shoes**, is the protagonist of
*Red Soles in Court.*
**Shion Valentia, the prosecutor of the black blade**, is the protagonist of
*The Black Blade Indictment.*
**Elios Grave, the judge in gray robes**, is the protagonist of
*The Gray Robe Judgment.*
**Violet Vane, the forensic pathologist with the violet scalpel**, is the protagonist of
*Violet Scalpel: A Forensic Autopsy.*
Each story approaches crime, justice, and the law from a different professional perspective.
The *Red Soles in Court* series also extends beyond the main novels. It includes graphic novels for readers looking for shorter stories, as well as the *Red Soles in Court Journal*, which explores a variety of legal themes.
On Amazon Kindle, the main series currently includes titles such as
*Heretical Defense Starts at Her Feet*
and
*Murder at the Royal Capital Grand Theater*,
along with other works set in the same legal fantasy world.
The Japanese edition of Violet Scalpel: A Forensic Autopsy is scheduled for release on March 5, 2027, while the English edition is already available in advance on Amazon.com through KDP.
The Gray Robe Judgment is a crossover story centered on Elios Grave, the judge in gray robes, and brings together Leila Grantz, the lawyer in red shoes; Shion Valentia, the prosecutor of the black blade; and Violet Vane, the forensic pathologist with the violet scalpel—each becoming involved in the same case through their own area of expertise.
Each story focuses on its own case, so you can start anywhere.
That means you can also enter the world of *Red Soles in Court* through *Can a Magical Girl Cancel Her Contract?*
