Sakaki "Tornado" Makio (Nagase Tomoya), the tough 27 year-old wakagashira (young master) of the Kantou Sharp Fang yakuza family loves alcohol, fighting, women and pudding. However, he is a high school drop-out and by academic standards, pretty dumb. In addition he is illiterate, extremely bad at math and cannot even fully write his name in kanji. His father (Ichimura Masachika), who is also the family's oyabun (boss), worries for the future of his son and his organization as he wishes for Makio to succeed him. He decides to force his son to return to high school to receive his diploma. He asks an old friend who happens to be the principal of a nearby school to admit Makio. If Makio doesn't graduate, the position of boss will be given to his younger brother Mikio (Kikawada Masaya).
Furthermore, he must pose as a 17 year-old during school hours and in the presence of any classmates or teachers outside of school. If his true identity as a mob heir is found out it would be the end newfound high school career as well as his aspirations to become the boss. Things start out rough and tough. Makio's violent temper is tested but manages to keep his cool. As the lessons and days go by he learns there's much more to school than just books and studying.
