Synopsis:
Asashi High is an all-boys high school and a place where teachers have given up hope that their students will ever have a bright future. Most of them have come to terms with the fact that there are no business careers ahead of them, unless they take up work for one of the yakuza clans. The school is already controlled by a gang of students whose boss is a boy who won in a dangerous game of "clapping". Aoki is happy to see his friend Kujo win, but soon realizes that his apathetic friend doesn't care about being in charge.
