Kayama Miharu enters her new middle school and immediately becomes friends with Mori Mizutama, a very cute guy she first takes to be a girl but is really a boy. However, though Miharu likes Mizutama, she cannot tell him, especially ever since the older Kawagoe (yes, a boy) seems to have taken Mizutama's interest instead. Miharu tries to be cute for Mizutama, but finds it practically impossible, as he is both more talented at home economics and more cute than herself. Then, Mizutama joins the Kawagoe's soccer club instead of the comedy-lovers' club.

2. Utopia of Homosexuality
At first, one of the main characters thinks back to childhood in which the person and another promised to marry. The story then starts from there 10 years later. Jung Suk Ha (Sukha Jung) and her male best friend she met on the internet, Park Bong Bin (Bongbin Park) aren't exactly entering their new high school together as "normal" students. Sukha's first love was a girl, while Bongbin's first love was a guy, and they are both homosexual, in which the chatroom they first met at was called "Same Gender Paradise" (the word for same gender, "dohngsung", can also literally mean homosexual). Before school starts, Bongbin and Sukha sneaks into the school office and changes his school name to Hyobin Park (the reason is that the name Bongbin can usually be twisted into "bongpahl", an insult/joke sort of name). While Sukha has her sights on the rigid and somewhat psycho, yet extremely beautiful Dani Un, Bongbin finds himself getting along well with a guy, that was spying on Dani, named Oojean Dong; and they both call each other Jean and Bin for short. As Sukha tries to figure out and get close to Dani, she discovers a guy that seems to always be around her, named Jeesup Kim. Later on, the story gets complicated, as people from Sukha and Bin's past appear and a twisted love story of Dani unravels.
