Ah! That Pep Squad

嗚呼！！花の応援団

Also known as Oh!! Flower Cheering Club, Â!! Hana no ôendan, Ah!! Hana no Oh-endan, ああはなのおうえんだん

Life in the pep squad is all about harsh discipline. Seniors are "Gods", juniors are "Humans", sophomores are "Slaves" and freshmen are treated like "Trash". One sunny day, two freshmen are entrusted with the task to dry out the squadron's flag; the most cherished and symbolic item of the squad. When they accidentally burn a hole in the flag with a cigarette, they blame Aota. Aota attempts to take full responsibility by committing "harakiri", but changes his mind during the process – a deep stab to the stomach has inspired him with a better idea.
