This looks interesting, but sadly it just uses the trope of Hammurapi as the Japanese saying is ~  "the way of Hammurapi" instead of an eye for an eye.

 

Hammurapis jurisdical system was by far the best and just system of all times, simply because everyone (except of the slaves) was equal before the law.

A life was always worth a life, and a cow was always worth a cow, not as the modern system tells us where people can get away with puny sentences or unscathed as long as they are famous and have connections.

Also, lieing and libeling someone in front of the court could make you get punished as much as the punishment was by law for the libeled one. Also, you could loose all your assets for libeling, going to those dragged to the court through your false accusation.

 

There was also a heavy punishment for judges who neglect their duties and cast faulty judgement upon innocent people due to their own insolence,corruption,etc.

They were permanently evoked from their position of judges as a result,too, and banished from court.

 

I believe that these aspects have to be addressed when talking about Hammurapi/making his law/jurisdical system the theme of your manga.

Just reducing everything to "an eye for an eye" is ignorant and arrogant towards the great achievements of that person who lived nearly 4000 years ago.

 

If our justice was as great as his, the world would be a much more peaceful place to live in and all the scum would be extinct from the earth very quickly simply due to the fact that robbery,theft,burglary,arson,murder were all a direct death flag.

Especially the industrial elite would be instantly reduced to 0 due to their scrupulous behaviour when it comes to working conditions, pollution, poisoning, fraudulent betrayal, exploitation and abuse of personal exigencies.

 

In that way, it would be really strange if those people weren't facing the trial in front of the Hammurapi-court but instead people who got desperate and infuriated by injust treatment by society and law[ and the character featured in chapter 1 is such a case].

 

The author should've studied Hammurapis law a little more before writing another "you rid the world of an evil guy but you'll get it for that anyway"-story

Remember that this is a 2 chapters one-shot.

Huh, actually didn't notice that. Must have skimmed over it in the summary. Good thing I didn't include "unnecessarily complicated plots" to my list, though it usually goes without saying. Still I'm standing by my assessment of pseudo psychology and bull shit however.

Anyone who's familiar with Kaitani-sensei's other works has a pretty good idea what to expect from this one. Plenty of psychology, reverse psychology, pseudo psychology, and double-bluffing bull shit. Something about the first chapter has me feeling this one is going to be particularly heavy on the pseudo psychology and bull shit however.

Sure bud. Just try a little more with the trolling.
