Sakuragi Kenji is a destitute lawyer and one-time member of a motorcycle gang. A failure as a lawyer, he takes a position as a high school teacher and takes on the challenge of preparing a special advanced class for entrance to the prestigious Toudai University.

10 years prior, lawyer and former motorcycle gang member Sakuragi Kenji left Ryuzan High School in order to offer management advice to various private universities. Since his departure, Ryuzan High School, which used to produce students who qualified for Tokyo University, has been on a decline. Sakuragi is called back to the High School in order to save it from its predicament. A revival plan is proposed, but the chairman of the school board is opposed to it. Although opinions are divived, Sakuragi continues to work with Mizuno Naomi in order to change things for the better. The students are overwhelmed, but while using the motto “Times are tough! So get a move on!” he manages to win their trust, and help them prepare for the new university entrance exam which will test the student’s ability to think, make judgements and express themselves instead of just using their knowledge
