About

Three days remain until graduation. At a private high school with a unique educational philosophy, Mr. Tada quietly makes an announcement during the final homeroom session. "There are multiple historical interpretations of Kimigayo. I will not be standing, but I want each of you to decide for yourselves." Amidst the buzzing classroom, class representative Seiya Kaneda stands up. "Sir, you're the one sending us off. I think it's wrong for a teacher not to stand for the national anthem at graduation." Mr. Tada will not bend his convictions, and Kaneda refuses to back down. After school the next day, the two are summoned to the student council room. A homeroom teacher who insists on remaining seated. A class representative who argues that one should stand for the anthem. And sitting between them, the student council president, Guest. With graduation imminent, the three-way negotiations begin.
