List of Year 24 complete manga work in English or Italian

I made this list mainly to myself, but you can easily use it too. I am on a mission to read every Year 24 group manga available, so here I collected:

licensed manga (in English and Italian)

online scans

Every licensed manga has a the name of the publisher too, and you might find the Italian translation easier than the Japanese.

I added an "online" to the ones you can definitely find scanned online. Every title is linked to where to read the story nearby, keep in mind these websites come and go and might have ads.

If you see a licensed title in italics it means that the manga cannot be found anywhere online and scanned (and translated). Or that some short stories in the collection (if it is a collection) cannot be found anywhere online and scanned.

Let's start!

The authors are (in order): Moto Hagio, Keiko Takemiya, Riyoko Ikeda, Ryoko Yamagishi, Yasuko Aoike, Yumiko Ooshima, Minori Kimura, Kihara Toshie.

My 5 Favorite Legal J-Dramas

I love them because they have perfect balance of seriousness and humour, not too dark and not too comedic. And the chemistry of the main leads are fun to watch with their constant bickering. 😂

1. Hero (2001)

Kuryu (Kimura Takuya) is an unconventional prosecutor who has a habit of investigating the criminals himself before prosecuting, which agitates his paralegal, Amamiya (Matsu Takako) has it delays the process while more cases are piling up, and often conflicts with the police who thinks he does not trust their investigation skills.

The series is so good that it has a second season with a newcomer played by Keiko Kitagawa, a special episode with Haruka Ayase and a movie with both Keiko Kitagawa and Matsu Takako. I like their chemistry, not just between the main leads but the supporting characters as well that got pulled into Kimura Takuya's shenanigans.

2. Miss Justice (2018)

A similar tale of a public prosecutor, Ririko (Yoshitaka Yuriko) whose strong sense of justice get in her daily work as she takes time to solve each cases diligently, playing the role of a "detective" to ascertain that the suspects are really guilty before she prosecutes them. However, it only delays her other cases which snowballs.

This agitates her older and experienced paralegal (Yasuda Ken) who is tasked to ensure she completes each task on time without delay. But over time, both him and the entire department who got pulled into her shenanigans finally understands her reasoning and begin to respect her as a fellow prosecutor and not as a newbie.

3. Police and Prosecutor (2023)

Gota (Kiritani Kenta) and Minami (Higa Manami) are siblings who work as a law enforcer and a paralegal respectively. She works for an ambitious public prosecutor, Shuhei (Higashide Masahiro) whose values and principles are opposite of Gota, which often puts them at odds with one another when they work together on every case.

While Minami and Shuhei know the grey world in their line of work, Gota is a brash detective who only sees thing in black and white which often puts them at odds with one another. But their opposing personalities and styles of work eventually help to solve the cases in arresting and prosecuting the right criminal.

4. Ishiko and Haneo (2022)

Ishiko (Kasumi Arimura) is an obstinate law graduate who aspired to be a lawyer but after failing the bar four times, she gives up her dreams and works as a paralegal at her father's private law firm where she met the prodigy Haneo (Nakamura Tomoya) who passed the bar on first attempt due to his photographic memory.

Ishiko is a bit insecure in having to work with a prodigy while Haneo is actually terrible at adapting that he often mask it with his "superior intellectual". Their different personalities and styles of working contradict each other as the two of them, with their own inferiority complexes, are thrown together to solve cases.

5. Binta : Love and Law (2022)

Minowa (Matsumoto Toshio) is a former delinquent who doesn't have a regular job and never really thought seriously about life until he had to look after his young step-sister left behind by his late father. He lands a job as clerk, working for a strong headed lawyer, Natsumi (Yamaguchi Sayaka) who is dumbfounded by his "stupidity".

But his strong sense of justice is a welcoming change that she needed having work in a corporate law firm surrounded by "vultures" that the two decided to start their own private firm to genuinely help people that really need help and not simply for the big money. But with each case, they realize things are not as simple as they think.

Hey there! We're Violet*Dayz!

I'll start! Kimura Fuyumi, third year at Miya Girls and leader of Violet*Dayz! I sing and play bass! Birthday is January 12, and...wait, what else do I say?

*sigh*...You're the leader. You should know.

S-Sorry!

Just say your...hobbies, dislikes, and some other random thing and pass the camera along!

O-Okay! I enjoy singing and dislike spiders! My favorite food is takoyaki, and my least favorite food is tomatoes! Your turn, Sumire!

Okie dokie! I'm Sumire Takahashi! Second year at Miya Girls and the drummer of Violet*Dayz! Birthday is...April 1st! Hehe, I must have been quite the April Fools prank...except I wasn't a prank! My favorite food is VANILLA CAKE and my least favorite food is anything bitter! I love drawing, and HATE writing!

Hate is a strong word, Sumi-chan.

What? Writing hurts my hands!

Let's just continue. I'm Keiko Kobayashi, third year at Miya, and I'm the guitarist. I was born August 5th. I enjoy baking and dislike loud people.

Wow, that's rude...

Loud people excluding Sumire.

Better.

Anyways...my favorite food is freshly baked cookies, and my least favorite is onions. Your turn, Yuri-chan.

M-Me?! O-Okay! I'm Yuri Takeda, second year at Miya Girls, and I-I'm the keyboardist for Violet*Dayz...! My birthday is November 18th! I enjoy reading and don't like cooking! Because I'm not very good at it...a-and my favorite food is curry! I don't like sour foods though...

Man, like once we have fully prevented The Tragedy from happening, we need to get like…most of the cast so much therapy. So, so much therapy.

Good news, everyone! Yomirui-san has agreed to help us.

Yeah...I haven't really been-

Helpful? Yeah, we noticed.

...Harsh, but fair.

Anyway, what's going on?

Yeah, what's been going on?

Well, we have the Nanamis and Misako-san under quarantine until we can be sure of the effects of algae, if it's there. They're currently our best candidates, we just need to be sure of the extent of the changes, if there are any.

So in a way, you were right that some people here had been affected. Does that mean they were traitors? It's not looking likely.

But now that that's under way, we can focus on something more important: communication.

Y-Yes. While we wait for the others, some of us are going to try and establish a connection with 2030 again. Chiebukuro-san and Nagisa-kun are helping us over the phone.

I did managed to speak to Iroha during all this. The lines have been so busy that it's hard to call anyone, but I tell her to be safe.

There has to be something we're missing here.

Alright...I'll see what I can do to help.
