story

Nariyuki Yuiga, a third-year high school student, aims to get a "special VIP recommendation" that will exempt him from university tuition fees for his family. To do so, he becomes the tutor for the school's three geniuses, Fumino Furuhashi, Rizu Ogata, and Uruka Takemoto. Although they are geniuses in their respective fields, they are completely useless in their weak subjects. Nariyuki guides them and aims to get them into their desired schools. However, the story is not just about studying, but also depicts the romantic feelings that develop between Nariyuki and the girls. Furthermore, with the addition of the seemingly cold-hearted but extremely clumsy teacher, Mafuyu Kirisu, and his senior, Asumi Kominami, who is working part-time as a maid while aiming to get into medical school, Nariyuki and his friends' studies and romance are pushed to the limits.

Although he doesn't have any outstanding talent, he is a brilliant student who has achieved over 80% in almost all subjects. For the sake of his family, he is aiming for a "special VIP recommendation" that will exempt him from taking entrance exams and paying tuition fees. He is a serious and caring person, but because he is too enthusiastic as a tutor, he is insensitive to his own love life.

Fumino Furuhashi

She is a genius in the humanities, known as the "Sleeping Beauty of the Forest of Literature," and the writing she produces moves the hearts of all who read and hear it. On the other hand, she is extremely weak in science subjects, and just looking at a mathematical formula makes her mind go blank! She has a bright and friendly personality, but sometimes she says harsh things...!?

Ogata Rizu

Nicknamed the "Clockwork Thumbelina," she is a science genius who can instantly solve even difficult mathematical equations. She is deeply ingrained in science-based thinking, and has a serious and somewhat stubborn personality. Because of this, she is particularly bad at liberal arts subjects that involve reading people's minds. She is also bad at negotiating with her favorite analog games, and her skills are...

Uruka Takemoto

She is a swimming genius who is called the "Silver Black Mermaid Princess." She is completely devoted to swimming and is not good at studying, but she is studying hard for English because she is a sports recommendation! She has been dating Nariyuki since middle school and secretly has feelings for him. She has a lively and unpretentious personality, but when it comes to love, she turns into a girly-girl in an instant!

Kirisu Mafuyu

A teacher at Ichinose Academy, she was Fumino and Rizu's first tutor and even encouraged them to change their career paths. Although she is feared by those around her for her cold-hearted behavior, she is a kind teacher who cares about her students. She is competent and does her job well, but in her private life she is quite lazy and has a clumsy side!

Asumi Kominami

She is an alumna of Ichinose Academy who is studying hard for the entrance exams after taking a year off. Although she wants to go to medical school, she is not good at science in general and is often taught by her junior, Nariyuki. Due to certain circumstances, she ends up pretending to be in a relationship with Nariyuki, and seems to enjoy teasing the innocent Nariyuki.
