Daichi Shinagawa
is a bona fide "yankii", a juvenile delinquent, who attends a prep
high school.
In fact, his reputation as a supreme tough is so widespread that he
can"t walk street without being challenged to a fight by other
would-be thugs, and nobody will come near him at
school.
He therefore spends his days isolated and
alone. Until one day he is befriended by the
spectacled class president, Hana Adachi.
While she looks like the prototypical serious student, Hana
is herself a reformed "yankii" and something of a convivial space
case. Daichi soon finds himself unwittingly swept up
in her world, helping people with their problems and participating
passionately in school events.
Together they make for an incomparable duo in this fun and
free-spirited high school fable. |
