At Tenbin Elementary, there is only one way to settle a dispute--in a court of law! All quarrels bypass the teachers and are settled by some of the best lawyers in the country...who also happen to be elementary school students.

The accused this time is a boy named Tento. His crime? The murder of a beloved member of the classroom! Luckily for him, the state has sent him a defense attorney--Abaku Inugami. But is this wild young lawyer skilled enough to ronpa his client off the hook?
