It's a venerable old apartment said to have been built in the Taisho era. Only eccentrics and oddballs live there. The residents' unruly behavior was so extreme that successive managers kept fleeing. Yusaku Godai, a resident of Room 5, is a cram school student. Even though he has an important mock exam tomorrow, the other residents are having a raucous party in his room. "I'm leaving!
