Story and Characters
On the first day of school, Nagi Souichirou and his partner Makihara Bob attack the high school senior's classroom as their first step to taking over Toudou Gakuen. However, their plans are put to a stop by the apperance of a short but extremely powerful elementary-looking girl. Introducing herself as Natsume Maya, the girl transforms into a stunning beauty (popping out of her school uniform due to this sudden change in body size) and overpowers Souichirou. As if that's not enough, Maya's attack sends Souichirou flying...right into the school shower room! Souichirou lands on Maya's younger sister Aya, who immediately falls in love with him. And so, Souichirou and Bob begin their not-so peaceful school life in a mist of confusion.
Unfortunately for them, the school's executive committee will not stand quiet to this unlawful disruption of peace. Mistaking the two men as in the same forces as the Juukenbu (the club where Maya is a captain of, and which openly defies the committee's rule), the committee issues a "unrestricted" sanction against them and sends 2nd year Ryuuzaki Tsutomu to carry out the task. Tsutomu easily teaches Souichirou and Bob what it means to really lose, and as a result the two now recognize the fact that they are weak. To become stronger so they can avenge their defeat, the two join the Juukenbu, forming what would eventually be the most powerful team ever.
As a part of their training program, Souichirou, Bob, and 2nd year Takayanagi Masataka go to stay at the Natsume household during the school break. Maya discovers Souichirou's hidden strength and decides to help him bring it to its full potential. Meanwhile, Aya isn't so amused, worrying that there may be more going on between her sister and Souichirou than they both care to tell her. One night when the team is at a bowling club, disaster strikes. The executive committee sends out some 200 men to ambush the five Juukenbu members. While Matsutaka is able to keep most of the men occupied, misunderstanding and jealousy form a rip between the Natsume sisters and they split up. The committee elites confront the separated sisters and battles begin.
Unknownst to them all, this is only a small part of what's to come...
