Amarida (played by Ichihara Hayato) is a middle school teacher who cherishes these meals. He is engaged in a secret competition with his student Kamino (played by Sato Taishi), who is always experimenting to improve the taste of their lunches. When a new health-focused reform threatens the flavor of school meals, Amarida takes on the challenge to preserve their deliciousness.

“School Meals Time Graduation” is the second film spin-off of a popular TV series. The story is set in 1980s Japan, during a time of food menu reforms and stricter disciplinary measures.
