Student activism
The series was dramatized into a TV series in 2009, and was aired from January to March by the NNN TVs in Japan, starring Kenichi Matsuyama. The original story was released shortly after when Student activism was on in Japan and thus reflected such historical backgrounds as represented in its use of the word in the title. The background of the TV series, on the other hand, was adjusted to reflect the 2009 world, including positioning of the main character as working at a factory.
