Story
Lawyer and former motorcycle gang member Sakuragi Kenji once produced students from the hopeless Ryuzan High School who successfully qualified for Tokyo University. After he left the school, he set up a law firm and moved from place to place offering management advice to private universities based on his achievements as a school rehabilitation expert. 10 years later, Ryuzan High School has been on the decline since Sakuragi’s departure. One day, he receives an offer from the school again to save it from its predicament. Vice principal Takahara Hiroyuki proposes a revival plan by Sakuragi. However, the chairman of the board Tatsuno Kumiko opposes a school centred on preparing students to get into university. Opinions are divided. Sakuragi does not mince his words or hesitate to refute an argument no matter who the other party is, and gave many young people courage. But what kind of changes can he bring about with his eloquence in the present day? With the transition from the Heisei to Reiwa era, there will also be a change in the university entrance exam to the new common test for university admissions which places more emphasis on students’ ability to think, make judgements, and express themselves rather than their knowledge. The students including Seto Akira, Hayase Nao and Iwasaki Kaede, who each have their troubles and problems, and their fates are about to be set in motion through their encounter with Sakuragi and his former student Mizuno Naomi who has become a lawyer at his firm.
