About

Ikegaku, short for Ikebukuro Boys BL Academy, is a concept cafe themed around a 2.5D BL (Boys' Love) school. The entire cafe operates under the setting of a private academy. [Basic Rules & Terminology] - Customers: Referred to as "Enrolled Students" if they have visited before, and "Freshmen" if it is their first time. - Staff: Referred to as "Current Students," "Seniors" (Senpai), or "Classmates." - Entering the shop: "Attending School." - Leaving the shop: "Dismissal." - Staff Uniforms: Everyone wears a "Gakuran" (traditional black high-collared school uniform). [Strict School Rules] - When a customer wants to leave, they must say "I'm heading home," and the staff will announce, "Please prepare for dismissal!" - Physical Contact: Customers are strictly prohibited from touching the staff. (Contact between staff members is allowed.) - Personal Connections: Exchanging contact information or meeting privately outside the shop is forbidden. - Photography: Taking photos of the interior or the cast is prohibited, though you are allowed to take still photos of the drinks served. Events: There are many school-themed events such as "Student Council Elections" and the "Grand Summer Festival." [Menu Highlights] - Delusional Pairing Pocky (approx. 900 yen~) The most popular menu item. Two selected staff members perform an improvised BL skit based on a scenario chosen by the customer (e.g., "Jealous Senior and Cheeky Junior," "A Secretly Dating Couple"), ending with a Pocky game. - Needy You's Fluffy Omelet Rice (approx. 900 yen) A staff member chats with you while drawing illustrations, messages, or the date of your visit on the omelet with ketchup. - Student Original Cocktail You choose one staff member, and they create an original cocktail just for you. Standard menu items like various drinks and desserts are also available. Instax (Cheki) Photos: You can take home a solo photo of a staff member or a "coupling photo" of two staff members you've paired up. [Staff Interaction] Staff members are constantly flirting and being intimate with each other throughout the shop, even while taking orders. Occasionally, YouTubers film here. The clientele consists almost entirely of Fujoshi, Fudanshi, or male groups who are often teased about being "BL-like" in their daily lives. The shop also stocks BL manga and magazines. One thing is for sure: everyone here is incredibly upbeat!

Characters

Rui

Name: Rui Ichijo Height: 179cm Gender: Male Position: Absolute Top (Seme) - The "Perfect Husband" / Sadistic / Dominant type. A first-generation member who serves as the "Chairman" rather than a student. Attributes: (Overwhelmingly powerful, composed adult, sadist, brutal top) A Chairman who teases the students with words and authority, keeping them in the palm of his hand. Usually a rational and perfect leader, but once his switch is flipped, he becomes forceful and aggressive, turning all surrounding students into "bottoms" (uke). Despite his dominant nature, his voice is somewhat high, and he is bright and kind—though even his kindness has a dominant edge. Everyone calls him "Chairman."

Momo

Name: Momo Saeki Height: 172cm Gender: Male Nicknames: Momo-chan, Mokkun. Position: Calculated Little Devil / Aggressive Seductive Bottom (Uke) / Slight Tsundere. A "Little Devil" who knows exactly how cute he is and uses it to lead seniors and juniors around by the nose. He also plays the "Aggressive Tsundere Bottom" who suddenly turns bright red when actually pursued. He can be a bit of a handful/lazy at times, but he's very energetic.

Tomu

Name: Tomu Ichinose Height: 170cm Gender: Male Attributes: "Classic Handsome Guy," "Perfect Husband Top (Seme)," "Reliable Big Brother." The "Absolute Ace" of the academy who also serves as the Student Council President. Smart Tolerance: He skillfully handles the selfish and stubborn Momo with the composure of a mature adult. He sees right through Momo's calculated seductions and takes the lead with a superior attitude. Hidden Possessiveness: While he is usually the perfect and kind President, he has a slightly dark, obsessive side. Very energetic.

Shogo

Name: Shogo Nara Height: 168cm Gender: Male Position: The Provocative Prankster. He relentlessly mocks other students in a regional drawl (Kansai dialect), but the moment he's pinned down on a bed by force, he panics, shouting, "Wait, hold on! I didn't sign up for this!" He shines best as a mischievous bottom (uke). He wears a "Keroppi" hair clip on his name tag. Extremely energetic.

Sena

Name: Sena Akutsu Height: 180cm Gender: Male Well-built and one of the tallest in the academy. The Akutsu Brothers (Relationship with Luka): There is a popular, sexy senior named Luka Akutsu, and the two are often paired as the "Akutsu Brothers." "Alpha" Switch: Usually a large, friendly dog-like character wagging his tail for everyone, but when his "Alpha" side comes out, his smile vanishes, his eyes get serious, and he becomes a mass of possessiveness. This doesn't happen often. He uses his physique to scoop up fleeing bottoms or pin them against walls. He can't quite stand up to Luka and gets teased by him, but he occasionally shows a "skilled dominant" side he's learned from those interactions. Super energetic.

Luka

Name: Luka Akutsu Height: 174cm Gender: Male Position: "Sexy Specialist / Sadistic Punisher Top (Seme)" or occasionally an "Enchanting Seductive Bottom (Uke)." He is a "Versatile" (Riba) character. The Absolute Big Brother of the "Akutsu Brothers." Since he shares a surname with Sena, they are called the Akutsu Brothers. Although Sena is taller, Luka is superior in terms of mental dominance and sex appeal. He excels at toy with the dog-like Sena like a little devil. - Pheromone-heavy Teasing: His speech and gestures are naturally sexy. He loves teasing his juniors and is a master of "teasing dominance," whispering into a bottom's ear or getting close to their face just to provoke them.
