Story
A teacher called Yoshizawa Tsuneo arrives at a famous private high school. It is a school that many children of government officials and affluent people attend and has a high percentage of students who go on to Tokyo University. Yoshizawa will be the form teacher of Class 3D, a class of students with outstanding academic results, from today. He is told by Yorita Asahi, Class 3D’s assistant form teacher, that this is a very problematic class and three form teachers quit in the span of six months. According to Yorita, the students have wealthy parents of high status including Fujiwara Toya whose father is a top prosecutor, Nagai Yumi whose mother is a famous doctor, Oki Nagi whose father is the CEO of a popular restaurant chain, and Tsurugi Riki whose father is the CEO of a major construction company and uncle is a politician. Besides the kind and popular Toya, the other three take advantage of their parents’ clout to do as they please. When Yoshizawa enters the classroom, all the students except Toya are studying by themselves and refuse to listen to his greetings. Although Yumi, Nagi and Riki assume an attitude of defiance, Yoshizawa does not care at all and talks about his cherished equation with a smile, “If you laugh every day, good luck will follow”. The rebellious students soon get increasingly irritated with Yoshizawa who remains unperturbed and keeps smiling no matter how they harass him. At last the school’s greatest troublemaker Riki carries out a dangerous attack on Yoshizawa. This is the moment when the battle between Yoshizawa and the students begins with a bang.
