Plot
Nori Kamitsuki, a high school student who transfers from Chiba Prefecture to a school in Gunma Prefecture after his family relocates. Nori initially looks down on Gunma, viewing it as rural and unsophisticated. However, he is immediately confronted by the region's fiercely proud students, who treat Gunma not as a prefecture but as a sovereign and powerful territory with its own unspoken rules.
Nori becomes embroiled in escalating conflicts with classmates who embody Gunma's extreme local patriotism, including encounters that parody territorial warfare, secret police, and survival trials. As he struggles to adapt, Nori learns the customs, rivalries, and exaggerated dangers associated with life in Gunma, gradually shedding his prejudices.
