Storyline

Kagamidai is a blend of two towns, old and new. Each has colorful scenery and colorful people... but it’s as if the two are painted in completely different colors. Shingo Uryu is a normal young man from the new side of town, but the academy that he attends is about to be integrated with a venerable edifice of the town’s older side—the prestigious Yuihime Girls Private Academy. Thrust into a combined class to help test the upcoming merge’s effects, Shingo begins commuting to Yuihime... and his life starts to change.
