Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of Japan's impending return to jury trials, *Our Jury Story* explores themes of perspective and civic responsibility through a personal lens. The narrative centers on Shōta, a high school student grappling with unrequited feelings for a classmate. His intense focus on this one-sided affection serves as a framing device to introduce the concept of the jury system to an audience largely unfamiliar with its workings.

The anime unfolds with a grounded, observational tone, examining how individual biases and experiences can shape judgment. Produced by Omnibus Japan and featuring animation from Group TAC and Studio Cj, the series utilizes relatable character dynamics to illuminate the complexities of legal processes and the importance of impartial deliberation. The voice cast, including Minami Takayama, delivers nuanced performances that contribute to a thoughtful exploration of community and justice.
