The Yakuza Principal
Junji, a smooth-talking radio DJ, is thrust into the unlikely role of principal for a nursery school nestled in Tokyo's notorious Kabukicho district. The late founder was a yakuza boss, leaving Junji to navigate a world of crayons and chaos far from his FM studio. Between managing a quirky staff and appeasing skeptical local families, he must transform this unconventional daycare into a sanctuary. His days become a hilarious clash of cultures, where naptime routines intersect with the neon-lit nightlife just outside the school gates.
