The seventh episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Mikami Sensei " (Sunday 9:00 pm), starring actor Tori Matsuzaka , was broadcast on March 2nd. A comment made by Tominaga (Aju Makita), a student in class 3-2, to whom Mikami ( Aju Makita) is the homeroom teacher, drew attention.

The drama is an original "great reversal story of education revival" in which Takashi Mikami (played by Matsuzaka), a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, who wants to change Japan's education system, takes to the podium at a private high school and stands up to authority while guiding 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era.
In episode 7, it is discovered that Shiiba (Sakura Sakura Kiryu) from class 3-2 has been shoplifting and acting as a fake on a dating app due to poverty, and the school expels her. Mikami tells the worried students that Shiiba's problems are also connected to social problems. The students who confront the problem take action... and so the story unfolds.
In the classroom, Mikami asks Shiiba, "Why don't you tell everyone why you shoplifted sanitary products?" Assistant teacher Koreeda (Riho Yoshioka) quickly stops Mikami, but Tominaga, played by Makida, tells Shiiba, "It's up to Shiiba to decide," and Shiiba begins to speak. Tominaga then tells Koreeda that he did it because Mikami told him to.
In response to this turn of events, comments were made on social media such as, "The landlady and Tominaga are really great," "Tominaga is such a wonderful person who does things for others, I hope she's happy," and "Tominaga, how many times has she lived...?" as well as some concerned voices such as, "I'm sure Tominaga has his own family environment as well."
