The five male students of Hachimitsu Private Academy are basking in their newfound freedom after their release from oppressive captors. They're back to their ideal school lives, surrounded by short-skirted girls. Kiyoshi Fujino and Shingo Wakamoto are enjoying close bonds with their female classmates, Reiji Andou is relishing the attention he gets due to his masochistic tendencies, and Takehito "Gakuto" Morokuzu has made friends with the clumsy Mitsuko Yokoyama, despite his reputation for embarrassing classroom incidents. However, Jouji "Joe" Nezu is finding it difficult to adjust to life as a student after his traumatic experience in captivity. Watching his friend Gakuto thrive romantically only worsens his sense of social isolation, leading him to question whether he was better off in confinement.
