Yo’s popular, handsome friend Kei pushes him to embrace his sexual feelings and teaches him about masturbation. Later, Yo is shocked when he sees Mitani kissing Kei, but Kei soon transfers to Hokkaido and Yo stops talking to both friends.
In high school, Yo is determined to make up for lost time and ask Mitani out. The first day of class, however, Kei shows back up, with long blonde hair and wearing a girl’s uniform. Kei is as sexually forward as ever, and the three friends are soon caught up in an adolescent swamp of love, lust, and confused feelings.

This leads to a lot of communication problems, although in some cases characters can drag the info out of him.
