About the Majisuka Gakuen Series

The Majisuka Gakuen Series (マジすか学園 シリーズ, Majisuka Academy Series?) is a school drama series featuring the members of the AKB48 Group. The series focuses on the lives of "Yankee" (ヤンキー?) (delinquent) girls during their senior high school years. It is the first school series to have the first three seasons be broadcasted from TV Tokyo, and the fourth and fifth to be broadcasted from Nihon TV.

TV/NET Drama

Season 1: Majisuka Gakuen

Season 1 focused on the life of Maeda Atsuko, a second year yankee who wanted to become a nurse after her best friend died trying to keep her away from a fight.

The first season ran on TV Tokyo from January 8 to March 2, 2010, garnering criticism about the amount of blood and violence featured in the show.[1],[2]

Season 2: Majisuka Gakuen 2

Season 2 continued the story of the characters from the previous season, while introducing some additional characters.

Majisuka Gakuen 2 ran from April 15 to July 1, 2011.

Season 3: Majisuka Gakuen 3

The third installment of the drama had the same title as the previous seasons, but a different plot and new cast of characters. It was set in a prison-like school for female yankees.

Majisuka Gakuen 3 ran from July 13 to October 5, 2012, and was the first season to feature a member of HKT48.

Season 4: Majisuka Gakuen 4

The fourth installment of the drama had the same setting as the first two seasons, but featured a new generation of characters. It was the first season to have members of NMB48 in the main cast.

Majisuka Gakuen 4 began airing on January 19, 2015 on NTV, and premiered on Hulu a week earlier.

Season 5: Majisuka Gakuen 5

The fifth installment of the drama was a continuation of the preceding season. The story of Majisuka Gakuen 5 was more expansive than the other installments of the series. Unlike the other seasons, it did not focus solely on school-age delinquents, but also involved the Yakuza and the police in the storyline.

NTV aired the first three episodes (called "volumes") of the season on August 24th, 2015. The rest of the season was only viewable on Hulu.

After a girl with a red umbrella passed by Majijo, Majijo Principal Mori Satoru informed them that the school was financially in trouble due to it's primary benefactor declaring bankruptcy, which could lead to the school being shut down. Sakura, along with several followers from Majijo, temporarily leaves school to open a Cabaret Club (Kabakura) with the help of Center and the Legendary Kabakura Producer so that they can raise funds to save their school.
