人生が変わる「守衛室の師匠」の教え

In a university guardroom, a nineteen-year-old learns the meaning of work and what he has received

Synopsis

No spoilers

After graduating from high school, nineteen-year-old Shoma wants to earn money easily and have fun, moving from one part-time job to another. He chooses security work because it seems easy and is assigned to a university guardroom. At first, he feels uncomfortable working with his older colleagues Matsubara, Yabushima, and Amano. But as he learns about the paths the three men have taken and their attitudes toward work, he begins to see the tasks before him and the support he has received differently. This is the story of Shoma searching for a choice that will lead him toward the future as he asks whom he works for.
