Plot
The series follows Tougo Sakuradaimon, a school prefect with a penchant for discipling. He is in constant conflict with Poemu Kohinata, a gyaru student over her violations of school guidelines. However, after the two find themselves in a supplementary class, Poemu discovers that Tougo is lacking in academic skills, particularly in mathematics. The two form a complicated relationship, with each knowing each other's weaknesses.
