Okonogi Masaya is down on his luck. His manipulative and charismatic father has just left him, leaving a massive debt, and tough gangsters will be coming for the money. When freezing outside, he sees a mysterious pink-haired girl being abducted by what seems to be female guards. And that's when he stepped in...

Now in an all-girls Catholic school, Masaya and his new friends have to figure out how to change his reputation and the girls' prejudices about men, so that he can stay in school. But even with financial difficulties, the school-board and the Red Rose Society are not keen to let men integrate with women. And they will use every trick in the book to stop Masaya...

From Tokyo School Life
(PC refers to the player character)


 * Any Torment You Can Walk Away From: Downplayed. When PC spills tea all over Aoi by accident, she's the one apologizing, even saying it must be good to take "tea baths." (Optimist look)
 * Blatant Lies: In Chapter 1, at a bookstore, PC and Sakura both want the last copy of a Samurai Maiden manga. Sakura comes up with an excuse: her little sister, who's in a hospital and is a big fan, wants it really bad. (Sakura is obviously an otaku; her lie is so transparent, even her eyes are lying.) PC is completely fooled and gives the book to her.
 * Call Back: PC recalls his optimistic words from the beginning about his expectations in Japan, when pissed at being kicked out of the dormitory.
 * Captain Obvious: The game is meant to be an introduction to modern Japanese culture, but is targeted at otaku. The information, as presented by the PC, is seen by them as obvious and juvenile
 * Crash Into Hello: Discussed by PC in Chapter 1, then played straight with him and Karin. Later in school, he barely avoids crashing into Aoi, but spills tea all over her.
 * Engrish: Sometimes, the girls says stuff in very accented English.
 * Foreshadowing: In Chapter 1 PC wonders if the girl he bumped into (Karin) is a model.
 * Shown Their Work: PC and Sakura know a lot about 1800s Japanese history. Justified In-Universe: they are fans of Samurai Maiden, which takes place in that time period. Downplayed in Chapter 1: PC says he got some info from 'Nuipedia'.
 * What If: (In-Universe) Samurai Maiden's premise is as follows: what if the samurai Saigou Takamori... was a girl?
