Plot
Takashi TÃ
Âno is a freshman student who is transferred from Tokyo to Morimori Academy, a private college prep boarding high school located deep in the mountains. Soon after arriving, he befriends KyÃ
Âsuke Yaguchi, who is a member of the soccer club and invites TÃ
Âno to join him in the club. TÃ
Âno'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 the members' duties consist of having sex with other students and teachers of the school.
