Plot

[edit]

Takashi Tōno is a freshman student who is transferred from Tokyo to Morimori Academy, a private college prep boarding high school located deep in the mountains. Soon after arriving, he befriends Kyōsuke Yaguchi, who is a member of the soccer club and invites Tōno to join him in the club. Tōno's lack of interest in sports forces him to enter the quietest club of all: the photography club. However, the photography club is not what it seems, since the members' duties consist of having sex with other students of the school.

Characters

[edit]
Takashi Tōno (遠野 高志, Tōno Takashi)
Voiced by: Yūsuke Kobayashi
Tōno was transferred to Morimori Academy from Tokyo due to his father's job. Unfortunately he entered the Yarichin Club believing it was just a normal photography club. He is hopeless at sports (especially ball games) and gets shy around people, and is often shocked by the activities of the Yarichin Club, frequently walking in on them by accident. He develops a crush on Yaguchi.
Yū Kashima (加島 優, Kashima Yū)
Voiced by: Daiki Hamano
The second new transfer student to Morimori Academy. Joined the photography club for photos, but it had nothing to do with photography. He is good at studying and grew up in a big family. He likes Tōno and pretends to be in a relationship with him to prevent him from being raped after the monthly sex results, leading to him actually developing a major crush on him.
Kyōsuke Yaguchi (矢口 恭介, Yaguchi Kyōsuke)
Voiced by: Ayumu Murase
Nicknamed “Yacchan”, Kashima's cousin and a member of the soccer club. Yaguchi is Tōno's only friend in class, and they strike up an easy friendship, with Tōno soon developing feelings for him. He comes off as cheerful and kind, and is very popular in class, but this is merely a facade; in reality, he is deeply troubled by jealousy from Kashima, who he looks up to as a master, and is actually a very dark and angry person when faced.
Ayato Yuri (百合 絢斗, Yuri Ayato)
Voiced by: Takuya Satō
A second year student. He is a versatile, meaning he can be either a top or a bottom, and behaves very oddly, speaking in broken sentences and slurred words and frequently making random noises. Despite this, he is one of the smartest students in the entire school, and takes extra classes and tests.

Voiced by: Kazuyuki Okitsu (BLCD)
Voiced by: Yūki Ono (OVA)

Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga
President of the Yarichin Club and Itome's boyfriend. Enrolled in Morimori Academy since middle school, he is half Japanese and half French. His full name is Keiichi Claude Akemi.

The two new members then have to fight off potential clients as the month goes on, while Tono tries to find his place at his new school, quickly becoming friends with Yaguchi, and getting to know Kashima and the other club members.
