Uwashima Yohei, a “50-year-old man who used to be a social recluse” played by Jiro Sato, is back! Two years later, Yohei returns to school and meets young caregivers, young homeless people… young people who are suffering in the post-Corona school and society. This heartwarming school drama, in which Yohei steps out of his non-attending class and does his best to be there for all the young people, is about to begin again!
