Plot
Sota Tachibana, a diminutive young man, discovers that his older sister, Kaoru, has roped him into becoming the interim coach for her college's women's volleyball team, which she is a member of, and hall director of their dormitory. Among her teammates includes Ayano Hasekawa, a girl he has had a crush on for years. Once the team takes a liking to him, Sota finds himself dealing with them constantly.
Characters

- Voiced by: Rin Hinishi[3]
- Portrayed by: Ken Aoyama[4]
- A young man who becomes the acting coach of his sister's college volleyball team after the actual coach is hospitalized. However, he soon finds that the other girls are all massive perverts who are sexually interested in him, which he does not resist since he likes tall girls. He is also very insecure about his short stature, to the point of throwing a tantrum whenever someone calls it out.
- Ayano Hasegawa (長谷川綾乃, Hasegawa Ayano)
- Voiced by: Sui Mizushiro[3]
- Portrayed by: Rena Takei[4]
- A member of the volleyball team. She is Sota's first love, whom he developed feelings for at first sight. However, while appearing to be a kind young woman, she is actually a pansexual pervert who quickly seduces and forces herself onto Sota. She also harbors lustful feelings toward her own teammates.
- Kaoru Tachibana (立花薫, Tachibana Kaoru)
- Voiced by: Kanna Natsuki[3]
- Portrayed by: Senna Natsuki[4]
- Sota's older sister and acting captain of the volleyball team in Sanae's absence.

- Sanae Yamada (山田早苗, Yamada Sanae)
- Voiced by: Hana Mameshiba[3]
- The captain and libero of the volleyball team, who is far smaller than the other members, even shorter than Sota, which helps with her position. She later becomes overweight as a result of overeating, but she eventually returns to her former, slim physique.
- Sakura Asakura (朝倉桜, Asakura Sakura)
- Voiced by: Suyako Inemuri[3]
- A member of the volleyball team. She is an otaku whose weird mannerisms and tall physique have always made her an outcast, until she met her teammates, who accepted her for who she is.
- Kyoka Teshigawara (勅使河原鏡花, Teshigawara Kyōka)
- Voiced by: Aki Nagatsuki[3]
- A member of the volleyball team. She has a flat figure, which she was initially insecure about to the point of using padding to cover it up. However, she later comes to terms with her physique and cuts her hair short, becoming a tomboy.
- Julia Mackenzie (ユリア・マッケンジー, Yuria Makkenjī)
- Voiced by: Noeru Kanzaki[3]
- A member of the volleyball team. The tallest and bustiest of the girls, she is a foreigner from the United States and a famous basketball player who switched to volleyball. She later also becomes a stand-in player for her college's basketball team after they discover her identity.

The girls play strip Mahjong (whoever gets the lowest score each round must remove an article of clothing) in the middle of the night except for Kyouka who refuses to play. Kaoru, who is quickly stripped to just her panties, wakes Sota up so he can play. They wager that whichever girl wins can do whatever they want with Sota that night, while if Sota wins, they must do his chores for a month. Ayano eventually gets bored and leaves the game. Kaoru wins in the end. She asks to share his bed. He tries to sleep, but she kisses him on the lips and dry humps him. She abruptly stops and leaves the room, leaving him shocked. | |||
