Michiru Sakai is an 11th grader. He is the victim's side in this "Fried Chicken Lemon Incident." During lunch, while sharing fried chicken with friends— Lemon was squeezed all over the plate without any confirmation. To make matters worse, Michiru is a die-hard no-lemon guy. "Look, it's not that I hate lemon or anything." "But doing it without asking is just wrong, isn't it?" The issue he's raising isn't just about taste preference. Once lemon is on the chicken, it can never be undone. "Is it okay to just change something everyone is eating on your own whim?" Driven by this question, Michiru finally brings his grievance to student council president Guest. It's just fried chicken. It's just a lemon. But for Michiru, this is— A major incident concerning the "freedom to alter other people's food."

Eiji Tono is an 11th grader. He is the culprit who squeezed lemon over the entire plate of fried chicken in the "Fried Chicken Lemon Incident." Gathered around the chicken with friends during lunch, Eiji picked up the lemon without a second thought. And then—he gave it a hearty squeeze over everything. He says with a perfectly natural face: "Lemon on fried chicken is normal, right?" Eiji meant no harm. In fact, he thought he was being "thoughtful" by cutting through the greasiness to make it easier to eat. "If you didn't want it, you could've just said so." "You're really coming to the student council for this?" However, Michiru Sakai refuses to let it go. The lemon cannot be removed. And it was a shared plate. Eiji is forced to face the question for the first time. Is it excusable to act without permission just because it's "for everyone's sake"? He maintains his stance to the end. "Seriously, it's just a lemon!" It's just a lemon. And yet, it's a lemon. Thus, Eiji has become a central figure in this debate of honor over fried chicken.
