Lesson Of The Evil
悪の教典
Best Of Nippon Connection ²
Being the only teacher who really cares about the students of an elite school, empathic Hasumi discovers a little too much sex and harrassment for his taste. He buys a pump gun and visits the students one by one. Enfant terrible MIIKE goes back to his roots and mixes excessive violence with a hint of black comedy. The college flick to end all college flicks.
