The story is a school comedy set in Hachimitsu Academy, which was formerly an all-girls' school, where the protagonist Fujino Kiyoshi has been imprisoned along with four other boys as punishment for spying on the girls' bath. They attempt various schemes in order to try and break out of prison. The President, Vice President and secretary of the Underground Student Council, which aims to get the boys out of school, wage war against Kiyoshi and his comrades.
