To further complicate matters, they're joined at their new school, Saint Liliana Academy, by the student council president, Arashi Nikaido, the student council vice president, Anastasia Nasuhara, and Akito's friend who followed them from Kyoto, Ginbe Haruomi Sawatari, all girls with their own peculiar traits. And before he knows it, they're all living under the same roof! The peaceful life that Akito wished for was gone with the wind.
