STORY

Going on my big sister’s recommendation, I’ve transferred to Ainoshima Academy! With summer break over, a new semester of fall events awaits. There’s the annual academy festival, the sports meet—the list goes on! As I walk to class on my first day, my heart races in anticipation at what my new campus life will be like. That is, until students start approaching me a short distance from the campus gate… You see, Ainoshima Academy has two student councils that are always vying against each other. Here, let me break it down for you real quick:
Gekka Council: Steeped in history and tradition, Gekka is as old as the academy itself. Its supporters wear uniforms featuring flowing, dark-green skirts for added noblesse.

Gekka President Alicetia

: “Join Gekka… Let’s be friends…”
Tendo Council: Tendo is a new student council that was formed after Gekka. Its supporters prefer a dress style that incorporates the latest in uniform chic, including burgundy bolero jackets, pleated miniskirts, and neckties.

Tendo President Usagi

: “Join Tendo—let’s get this academy inspired!”
Meanwhile, various student associations have been involved in a proxy war, with the sports teams supporting Gekka and the liberal arts clubs backing Tendo. Before I transferred, the student vote was split evenly between them, which means my vote will be the one that decides who gets the majority! Word has it that a similar deadlock happened six years ago, and it was a transfer student who broke it. Coincidence, huh? Anyway, as you can imagine, since day one of me moving here, neither faction will give me a moment’s peace! This isn’t how my sister said it would be at all…?!

Gekka Vice President Mashiro

: “I wish the sports jocks and liberal arts gang could just get along.”

Tendo Secretary Tateha

: “With your vote, something might actually change around here.”

I was planning to live my new campus life in peace, but as the academy’s 777th student, the entire student population is watching my every move. Being 777 might sound like the jackpot, but the way things are going, I just might be the unluckiest guy here…

With two student councils to deal with, plus the ongoing proxy war, my new life at Ainoshima Academy is already off to a challenging start!

CHARACTER

Alicetia Wallenberg Kezouji (Voice: Yuuka Kotorii)

The president of the Gekka Council and in same year as the protagonist. As the daughter of a powerful family, she had her position thrust upon her, but as an individual she’s very awkward in front of people.

She tries her best to support everyone, but between her naturally evil-looking eyes and her poor communication skills, the general consensus is that annoying her is a great way to risk getting cursed.

“If I were better at communicating, I wonder if I would have more friends...”

Usagi Tsukiyono (Voice: Choco Moca)

As a former model-turned-idol, she won the Tendo presidency by the largest margin in school history. Despite her burgeoning fame, she doesn’t act superior, and she performs her council duties so effectively that men and women alike seem to flock to support her.

...Or that’s how it looks on the face of things. Underneath, she’s a hard worker who manages her image carefully and manipulates everything around her with skill. She loves ramen and often goes out in disguise to sample the town’s various noodle-based offerings.

“Thanks, everybody! Okay, we can do one little encore♪”

Mashiro Kuryu (Voice: Suzu Yuki)

A year below the protagonist, this first-year student is already the vice president of the prestigious Gekka Council. Effortlessly capable, she can take care of almost any issue that arises, preparing documents, pouring tea, and speaking in stead of the mushy-mouthed Alicetia. Some forward-thinking supporters are already calling her the next Gekka president.

Her personal hobbies include gardening, and she can often be found taking care of the flowers tucked away in a corner behind the school building.

“Might I interest you in another cup of tea?”

Tateha Tatebayashi (Voice: Hana Akino)

The secretary of the Tendo Council is also the protagonist’s classmate. Bright, cheerful, and big-sisterly, she acts as a social lubricant to ease the friction between Tendo’s more eccentric personages. Though she may seem almost overbearing at first glance, she actually has a difficult time saying no and tends to go with the flow most of the time. This only makes her all the more approachable, so she makes friends everywhere.

In her own time, she often lends a hand to her uncle (or aunt?) who runs a certain café...

“Welcome to Rapunzel—wait, no. I mean, welcome to the Tendo Council!”

Anna Watanuki (Voice: Kiiro Tsukino)
Another member of the protagonist’s class. With her perpetually lighthearted demeanor, she can come off as strange and a challenge to read. She splits her fashion between Gekka and Tendo uniforms according to her mood, making it hard to tell who she supports. The way she flaps and flits around has earned her the nickname “the bat.”

“Hehehehe. Now things are getting interesting!”
