Synopsis
editMisaki Tennoji, the number one cabaret girl at Roppongi's "Club Southern Sea", becomes a teacher at Midō Gakuen High School, at the strong recommendation of Principal Tamatsukuri. On her first day, the principal assigns her to be in charge of Class 2Z, a special class for students who are not attending school due to various problems. The students were gathered as a compromise between the principal's faction, which wanted to graduate any student without abandoning them, and the vice principal's faction, which believed that expulsion was unavoidable for students with problems. When Misaki learns of this situation at the welcoming party for the new class, she is inspired to help the students recover from their problems by drawing on her own childhood memories and her experience as a cabaret club hostess.
