Mystery and intrigue, crime and punishment, uncovering the truth—all in a day’s work for the ace defense attorney Phoenix Wright and his beautiful assistant Maya Fey.  Based on the hit game series, Ace Attorney brings new adventures to the games’ colorful cast.  Can Nick successfully swing the gavel of  justice or will he be crushed by the weight of incriminating evidence?

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 1

As an Ace Attorney fan from the English release of the first game, I think the best praise I can give this manga is that it feels like one of the games. It hits the right tone with the characters (for the most part). It even starts with Phoenix defending Larry in a murder trial prosecuted by Payne. There are two cases here, though the second ends the volume with a cliffhanger and isn't close to being resolved. That, and Edgeworth, will come in the next volume.
