Plot

The manga follows the story of Nariyuki Yuiga as he tutors three geniuses of different subjects in high school in order to get a scholarship. Fumino Furuhashi is a genius on literature but horrible in math, Rizu Ogata is a genius on mathematics and science but literature and arts are terrible subjects for her and Uruka Takemoto is a genius in the athletic field but really bad in all the others. Together, they study very hard and want to get better at their worst subjects while Fumino and Ogata wants to go to college and work on these subjects for life. As the girls work hard with Nariyuki to achieve their academic goals, they also must deal with their growing feelings for him.

Voiced by: Ryōta Ōsaka[6]

Voiced by: Haruka Shiraishi[6]
One of the female protagonists and a 3rd year. A genius in the field of literature and arts, but panics over the simplest mathematic questions. The reason why she wants to pursue a science degree is because she wants to find a star which she believes is the reincarnation of her late mother.

Voiced by: Miyu Tomita[6]
One of the female protagonists and a 3rd year. A genius in the field of mathematics and science, but the direct opposite in literature and arts.
