Synopsis
Kumiko Yamaguchi has fulfilled her childhood dream and had gotten a job as a math teacher at a private boys school. Unfortunately, she has two problems. The first... the class she has been assigned to – which is filled with juvenile delinquents. And everyday, these ruffians do their best to drive her away – but to no avail.
Perhaps the reason for this is because of Kumiko's second problem – she is also the Koumichou, or acting leader of the Ooedo Clan, one of the most powerful Yakuza clans in the country, so dealing with violent situations is nothing new to her (within the Ooedo, Kumiko is known as 'Ojou'). Kumiko had taken the leadership of the Ooedo because her grandfather, who was her guardian since the deaths of her parents, had become ill.
The problem lies in keeping the two separate – being a teacher and a crime lord. Kumiko is going to have to struggle to get her class passing grades whatever they like it or not, while at the same time trying to keep the muscle that works for her from killing them! And there's still the problem of one of her students - Shin Sawada - who suspects something about his new teacher!
