Synopsis
One day, Kuroi, a teacher at a night school, is unexpectedly called in by the principal. The suggestion of a transfer is brought up, but Kuroi firmly declines, expressing a desire to maintain a connection with the night school environment, even humorously suggesting they be called the "Old Badger." In Kuroi's class, a diverse range of students attend: Kazu, who manages work alongside night classes; Eriko, a junior high first-year facing attendance issues; Midori, a spirited troublemaker; Zhang, a Chinese student adjusting to life in Japan; Omoni, a yakiniku restaurant manager; Shuu, who faces challenges due to cerebral palsy; and Ino-san, an enthusiastic horse racing fan whose life has been marked by physical labor.
As the story develops, each student grapples with their own unique struggles while attending night classes within their individual life circumstances. Against this backdrop, the narrative unfolds, revealing the dynamics of their interactions and personal growth.
