Yankumi (Yukie Nakama) has been assigned to oversee the toughest class in the whole school, Class 3D of Akado High School by the school principal. Being the 4th generation heir of the Oedo family, she always sacrifice herself for others and tough at fighting her opponents which include punks and gangsters. Her first priority is to tackle tough and bad students in her class.

One day, the class head of 3D Reita (Yuta Tamamori) beats up a street guy and the guy later complains with the school principal (Katsuhisa Namase). The principal later warns Yankumi to ensure her class students are not involved with anymore fights or else she would be sacked. Reita then asks her teacher not to interfere with his personal problem as he prefers to settle the problem by himself.

As a responsible and dedicated teacher Yankumi later gets involved with former student Ren (Haruma Miura) who is being sought by police for being a suspect in an illegal drug trade business. Further investigation reveals that Ren is connected to the powerful underworld drug and gangster gang. The shocked Yankumi then requests the whole class students to join her in this battle.
