Storyline

The setting is the prestigious, traditional Japan University of Science. Mitsugu Kimura, a top-achieving student, is a resident of Sigma House, a student dormitory. Mitsugu is joined by a group of unique, problematic students with the lowest grades, but Sigma House is in danger of being demolished. Professor Migita, who is conspiring to build a hotel on campus, has plotted to close the dormitory unless all the students get straight A's on their next exams. In Campus Academic Wars, students wage a cheating war against a corrupt university professor, with the survival of Sigma House at stake. Will glory or ruin await them at the end of this righteous(?) cheating that brings together all their intelligence and physical strength? Namie Amuro, the top J-pop music sensation, plays one of the students. Screening alongside the film In Tomoko's Case (starring Rie Tomosaka, directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro) as a double feature theatrical release.
