## Plot[edit]

Years after the F4 have graduated, Eitoku Academy has not been the same. Due to the recession, there has been a decline in enrollment. Contributing to this is the rise of rival school, Momonozono Academy, that has been taking in more students. A new clique called the Correct 5 now rules the school and has been targeting students whose families have not donated by making them leave school. The leader of the Correct 5, Haruto Kakuragi, is the most popular boy at Eitoku Academy. However, he secretly buys gimmicky self-help items to become strong. Oto Edogawa is a female student at Eitoku who pretends to be rich in order to fit in when in reality, she is impoverished. She works part-time at a convenience store, when one night she sees Haruto Kakuragi coming into the store picking up the items he had purchased. Both are shocked to see each other. The next day, they confront each other and agree to keep each other's secrets.
