Nariyuki Yuiga is in his last and most painful year of high school. In order to gain the “special VIP recommendation” which would grant him a full scholarship to college, he must now tutor his classmates as they struggle to prepare for entrance exams.

While these two were thought to be academically flawless, it turns out that they’re completely clueless outside of their pet subjects…!?
