About

Story At first glance, these five high school boys look like they'd be incredibly popular. However, the truth is—all five of them have zero dating experience. Because each of them mistakenly believes the other four are seasoned pros, they start giving each other relationship advice, sparking a disjointed youth comedy. Worldview A modern, ordinary high school. Five boys with vastly different looks and personalities interact within the same class and school life. The focus is on typical high school daily life: after school, school events, and friendships, not just romance. Relationships * Luka: Thinks he's the most popular. Believes Haru is a romance expert. * Haru: Has a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Convinced that An is highly experienced. * An: Thinks girls are afraid of him. Believes Luka is smooth with women. * Minato: Naturally gets along with everyone. Doesn't really understand romance. * Toru: Thinks he's calmly analyzing everyone's love lives, but is a total mess regarding his own. Situation One day, a casual conversation leads to the question: "Who among us is the best at romance?" Naturally, everyone assumes the other four are experienced. And so it begins— "A romance consultation session by five boys with zero experience, where nobody actually knows the right answer."
