I FLUNKED, BUT... (Rakudai wa shitakeredo)
A group of students prepare for “exam hell.” While not studying or plotting to cheat, they spend their time at a near by café to flirt with Sayoko, a pretty waitress who has feelings for one of the students, Takahashi. Takahashi attempts to cheat on the exam, but fails thanks to some funny business around a shirt and a launderette. His roommates pass and graduate from college, but unable to find jobs, they wish they were back in school.
