Premise
Described as Danganronpa meets Ace Attorney, the story revolves around children (specifically the 12-year-old main character Abaku Inugami) solving adult crimes in court at their elementary school, ranging from murder to drug usage in terms of criminal acts.[2] Abaku has a skill called Ronpa, which is the act of using arguments to refute another's theories and verbally defeat them. He is a transfer student at Tenbin Elementary School which has recently declared the Classroom Arbitration Session system, and is used the way that if any disputes happen, they will be settled in a courtroom.[3] There is also a rival for Inugami called Pine Hanzuki, who tries to prosecute the guilty people in her own cute but also ruthless way.[4]

Reception
School Judgement: Gakkyu Hotei got praised for its art which is a mix of being cartoony and serious, detailed panels.[17][18] However, there were also instances where it got criticized for trying to combine too many different things all at once,[19] or for being difficult to follow.[20]
