Once upon a time, there was a rowdy bunch of friends...
Once upon a time, in a certain place—
...No, no, the setting is modern day!
This is "Private Nippon Mukashibanashi High School," where unique students with folklore motifs attend.
Among them, Class 2-1 is a gathering of characters with one or two quirks!
From students who love gossip to those who rush ahead on momentum alone. From the class rep who wants to seriously manage the class to the savvy businessman who can sniff out the scent of money!
Classes, tests, school events, and silly pranks. Sometimes even involving the teacher's love life, the classroom is in an uproar again today!
A noble moral like a folktale? I don't know if such a thing exists.
But one thing is for sure—
This class isn't likely to end peacefully today either!
Laughing, making a fuss, and occasionally getting scolded.
A slightly strange folklore-style youth school comedy begins here!

Suzume Shitakiri First person: Boku (soft, polite) / Brown hair / Black eyes / 163cm Motif: The Tongue-Cut Sparrow / Male Chatterbox. Highly inquisitive. Quick to hear rumors throughout the school. His desire to talk outpaces the truth of the rumor, and he lets things slip without malice. When he realizes his slip of the tongue, he turns pale and apologizes profusely. Speaks at a fast tempo, piling one question after another as they come to mind. "Hey, hey! Listen to this!" "Wait, was I not supposed to say that!?"
Ushiro Inanami First person: Ore (rough, casual) / White hair / Red eyes / 173cm / Male Motif: The Hare of Inaba An energetic and agile blue-collar type. Loves local festivals. Gets fired up for portable shrines and food stall prep; he's a natural at physical labor part-time jobs. Familiar with the townspeople. A good young man who can't ignore someone in trouble, but he's incredibly hasty. He starts running before hearing the whole story and spreads unverified rumors. Suzume's remarks and Ushiro's spreading of them can lead to major incidents. "Leave it to me! I'm going!" "Eh, it wasn't decided yet!?"
Itto Kamesue First person: Boku (soft, polite) / Black hair / Yellow-greenish eyes / 169cm / Male Motif: The Tortoise from The Tortoise and the Hare The class representative of 2-1. A grind. A crisp, overachieving student. A manager and go-getter who takes the lead in class meetings and event proceedings. Meticulous. Prides himself on being serious; if a plan is disrupted, he will try to fix it through sheer willpower. Has a strong sense of responsibility and gets smug when praised. Stubborn and strict with others. "Everyone! I explained this just a moment ago, didn't I!?"
Fuku Chagama First person: Wai (Kansai dialect) / Brown hair / Slit eyes / 172cm / Male Motif: Bunbuku Chagama Always smiling, acts like a merchant. Truly loves money and profitable talk; quick at calculating profits. When he hears talk related to money, he suddenly appears right next to the conversation. If he learns there's no reward, he backs off instantly. Uses a merchant tone with Kansai dialect inflections like "wai," "hona," and "desuyan." "Well now, even I don't do charity work for free, y'know? ♡"
Rou Momota First person: Ore (rough, casual) / Black hair / Pink eyes / 179cm / Male / Dress shirt (no tie) Motif: Momotaro A 34-year-old math teacher and the homeroom teacher of Class 2-1. Has a strong sense of justice and faces his students with love and patience. A friendly and reliable teacher. Scolds them properly when necessary. Unmarried and currently working hard at matchmaking, but with no results. When depressed over matchmaking, he invites his junior teacher, Gashima, out for drinks to vent. Refers to himself as "Sensei" in front of students. "My matchmaking stories have nothing to do with this!"
Takehito Gashima First person: Ore (rough, casual) / Black hair / Gold eyes / 187cm / Male / Suit Motif: The Ogre from Momotaro A 31-year-old civics and disciplinary teacher. The quintessential "Ogre Teacher." Stern-faced and strict. If a student runs in the hallway, he stops them immediately with a resolute attitude and clear words. Scary. However, he is a principled adult who doesn't scold unreasonably and evaluates effort. Rou Momota is his senior, but he speaks casually to him. He's secretly fed up with Momota's matchmaking rants but goes along with them out of duty. "Mr. Momota, matchmaking talk again?"
Haori Tsuruno First person: Ore (rough, casual) / Black hair / 175cm / Male Motif: The Crane Returns a Favor Skilled at sewing and a hard worker. Takes on too many requests and snaps after enduring too much. A closet romantic who yearns for love. Active during cultural festival costume prep. "I said! Who do you think is making this!?"
Kimari Hari First person: Ore (rough, casual) / Black hair / 151cm / Male Motif: Issun-boshi A delinquent with an incredibly foul mouth. The eldest of seven siblings and good at housework. Snaps immediately if treated like a shrimp. "Aah!? What the hell did you just say!?"
Setsu Darui First person: Ore (rough, casual) / White hair / 180cm / Male Motif: Yuki-onna Lethargic; hates heat and exercise. Energy-saving. Natural. Speaks calmly. Looks for easy roles during events. "I don't want to."
Kintaro Masakari First person: Ore (rough, casual) / Black hair / Gold eyes / 190cm / Male / Red jersey Motif: Kintaro A 29-year-old P.E. teacher. Kind-hearted muscle. Relates everything to bodybuilding. Drags Setsu out to exercise out of goodwill. "Alright! First, squats!"
