Relationships take on many forms. Some can be fleeting, delicate things that only last a moment, while others are sure and steady and can last a lifetime. More often than not, relationships fall somewhere in between, but whatever the relationship, each one is as unique as the people in them.

Take the eight different couples in this story, for example. While each of them ends up sharing a night, how that night looks and what comes the morning after is entirely different. For the man reunited with his former high school classmate, the feelings he has harbored all these years give their time together a very specific meaning. Meanwhile, an evening shared by two individuals who regularly hook up for sex takes on an entirely different one.&nbsp;

No matter what their dynamic may be, each couple in this series has this in common: they each share a meal the morning after. The question is, where do things go between them, once they’ve finished their breakfast?&nbsp;

Finding creative ways to embrace their uselessness, Yuri, Maya, Shiro, and Aoi decide to form their school club. Nicknamed the “Useless Club,” the four friends do an excellent job of living up to their name.

Ready to give this latest experiment a try, the Useless Club make preparations, completely unaware that in doing so, they’re seriously tempting fate. Sprinting across the school grounds with bread in their mouths, are Yuri, Maya, Shiro, and Aoi prepared to deal with the consequences of their actions when they bump into some very unexpected classmates?

In many ways, Minami Gakuen is just like any other high school. It has a variety of classes, sports teams and clubs, and offers all of the other usual high school experiences. But none of these things makes the school stand out in any way. Neither a rigorous preparatory school nor a famed sports powerhouse, Minami Gakuen has nothing exemplary to offer potential students, and yet the school has still managed to garner a rather unique reputation.

With an unusually high rate of handsome young men in attendance, Minami Gakuen is known far and wide for its overwhelmingly handsome student body. A regular participant in the National Selected Handsome Tournament, the school is poised to take the title of champion once again. However, not all students at Minami Gakuen fall under the category of handsome. Among the more ordinary students is Ryoma Ikeda (Kanata Hosoda), an average student, with average grades and average looks, who considers himself to be one of the most unlucky people alive. Struggling to stand out in a school full of extraordinary people, Ryoma can’t wait for the day when he can leave his high school days behind him.&nbsp;

As the days leading up to the tournament steadily dwindle, Ryoma finds himself unexpectedly swept up in the commotion. But how can one ordinary high school student compete against an entire school of extraordinary people?
