This is a story about high school anarchy in the long, bruised-and-battered tradition of BE-BOP HIGH SCHOOL and FUDOH. This school is surrounded by misleadingly picturesque cherry trees in full bloom, it's the students who set the rules while uncooperative teachers are dangled from windows. In this power structure, the leader is decided by a peculiar game of dare: hanging from the rooftop fence, he who can clap his hands the highest number of times without plummeting to his death is king. Violent assaults on the throne are punished with a severe bruising or in worse cases with a kitchen knife in the gut. The desolate concrete hallways of the building are covered floor to ceiling in black graffiti, which acquires a new coat each time another student comes to power. (Verleiher-Text)
