◇The following contains spoilers
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 8, Mikami (Matsuzaka) is ordered to return to the Ministry of Education. The reason is that the grades of class 3-2 have been declining, and parents are concerned about this. The students rebel and start thinking of ways to save Mikami.
Meanwhile, Kanzaki ( Takako Tokiwa Daiken Okudaira) and Jigen (Airu Kubozuka), who were investigating the case of Saejima (Takako Tokiwa), come across a certain person... And the person who leaked the school's secrets, such as Kanzaki's article, comes to light, and Mikami and Koreeda (Riho Yoshioka ) launch an attack... and so the story unfolds.
In episode 8, the identity of the mysterious young man played by Kyohei Takahashi of the popular group " Naniwa Danshi " who made a surprise appearance in episode 2 is revealed. When Jigen investigates the students who were absent for long periods of time under Saejima's supervision for unclear reasons, he discovers that there was a student named Itsuki Tokura. When a photo of his face is displayed, it is Takahashi. Afterwards, Kanzaki meets Tokura and goes to Saejima, asking him, "You were protecting Tokura-san, weren't you?"
This development caused a flurry of excitement on social media, with comments such as, "The mysterious young man! Finally!", "Tokura Itsuki has been revealed", "The mysterious young man is Kyohei Takahashi after all", "Kyohei's look is great", "Here it is, Kyohei", and "The last 15 minutes after Kyohei appeared were so hectic".
Afterwards, there was a scene where Tominaga (Aju Makita) called Jigen and said, "Help me," and there were worried voices saying, "Tominaga-chan! What's going on?"
