Drawn by [[BleachedUnderpants famed hentai artist]] Takeda Hiromitsu, the story takes place at Tenbi Academy, a school for the gifted as it were, where the students are taught how to use "Element". Which is loosely akin to their version of {{ki manipulation}} and {{functional magic}}. Those who can harness its power are commonly referred to as, "ability users". However, only the strongest and most proficient among them are granted the use of Maken, and only the elite become members of [[TitleDrop Maken-ki.]]

As the school's [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil student council]], they're charged with maintaining discipline. But that isn't what our pervy protagonist, Takeru Oyama, is interested in. You see, until a year ago, the academy was [[AllGirlSchool girls only.]] So now that it's gone Co-Ed, the student body [[ImprobablyFemaleCast is predominantly female]] and he wants to see as much of [[DoubleEntendre the "student body"]] as possible.

At least, he would, if his childhood friend [[LoveInterest Haruko]], wasn't there [[ClingyJealousGirl to keep his wandering eye in check]], since she's part of the school's disciplinary committee. Except our hero's [[ChickMagnet inexplicable girl attracting powers]] start to kick in, causing the prerequisite ShanaClone (Himegami) to literally fall into his lap. And later, at the introduction ceremony, he meets [[CloudCuckoolander a strange girl]] named Inaho, who says she's his fiancee.
