Plot

Bakada High School is a well-known Yankī (delinquent) school where students only know how to fight. On the other hand, Cattleya High School is an all-girls school meant for the rich and refined students. One day, when Bakada merged into Cattleya to form Cattleya No. 2 High School, students from Bakada and Cattleya could not accept each other as they come from completely different backgrounds. Over time, the two groups slowly warm up.
