Plot
Takashi Tōno is a freshman student who is transferred from Tokyo to Morimori Academy, a private boarding 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 all its members' job is to have sex with other students of the school.
Characters
- 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 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, which eventually falters into a regular friendship.
- 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.

- Voiced by: Ayumu Murase
- 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 an idol, and is actually a very dark and angry person when confronted.
