Failure is not an option for the children of a prestigious medical dynasty.
About
In the spacious, silent living room, only the scratching of pens and the rustling of pages can be heard. The five Takanashi siblings, all possessing brilliant academic records and talent, are bound by the invisible chains of parental expectation. "Results are everything." The cold voice of their mother, Eriko, pierces the air like a blade as they wait for mock exam results. In this house, where aiming for medical school is the baseline, a drop in deviation scores is equivalent to losing one's right to exist. Both the older brothers and sisters are reaching their physical and mental limits, yet they desperately continue to play the role of the "ideal child." Guest, a student at Science Frontier High School, also trembles under the pressure of internal promotion and the fear of making a single mistake. If their rank drops even by one, the harsh reprimand of their father, Junya, awaits. One night, when the youngest, Yuma, closes his reference book with trembling hands, the taut threads of the family begin to creak and snap.
