Plot[]
Takatoshi Tsuda joins Ōsai Academy, a high school that until recently had been an all-girl school, where he is asked to join the student council as vice-president and a male representative.
Characters[]
- Takatoshi Tsuda (津田 タカトシ Tsuda Takatoshi?)
- Voiced by: Shintaro Asanuma
- The main character of the story, he chooses to attend a former all-girl school simply because it is close to his home. The first day at the school, he is forced to join the student council as vice president and male representative. He normally acts as a tsukkomi to Shino and Aria's perverted innuendo and comments, and becomes so used to it that he would actually feel odd if they did not make such jokes.
- Shino Amakusa (天草 シノ Amakusa Shino?)
- Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa
- The student council president and a second-year student. She is serious and diligent, and talented in most subjects. However, she is almost always thinking of perverted things, even suggesting that one of her main reasons to be interested in Tsuda is curiosity about information not covered in health classes. She is also a very popular girl with a lot of female fans in school, and has a complex about her chest, which is exacerbated by the fact that Aria happens to be more well-endowed than she is.
- Aria Shichijō (七条 アリア Shichijō Aria?)
- Voiced by: Satomi Satō
- Also a second-year student and Shino's best friend. She is the most mature character in appearance, and comes from a wealthy family. However, her mind tends to follow the same paths as Shino. She is airheaded at times, as a consequence of being too rich. Being more well-endowed than her fellow student council members exacerbates Shino's complex about her chest.
- Suzu Hagimura (萩村 スズ Hagimura Suzu?)
- Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi
- A first-year, 16-year-old genius return student with an IQ of 180. She is the most mature of the characters, but she is very sensitive about her body, which still appears to be that of an elementary school student. Many of the jokes involving her focus on her childish appearance, and causes her to fly in a rage whenever it is mentioned.
- Kotomi Tsuda (津田 コトミ Tsuda Kotomi?)
- Voiced by: Asami Shimoda
- Takatoshi's younger sister, who is a third year in junior high school and plans to attend Ōsai like her brother. She is considerate and caring toward others, but is curious and enthusiastic about adult matters, to the point of frequently behaving similarly to Shino Amakusa (to the point that both brought Takatoshi adult manga when he was sick).
- Ranko Hata (畑 ランコ Hata Ranko?)
- Voiced by: Satomi Arai
- A member of the school's photography club, has a habit of taking photo's of the student council members to sell around the school. She tends to get caught often.
