Year 800 of the Common Era. In this year, supernatural cycles brought Earth on a collision course with an alternate dimension and the consequences of such a visit were much more drastic than the times it has happened before. Beginning in Japan, an outpouring of otherdimensional creatures known as «aradama» sparked a silent war between them and humanity that has been ongoing since that century. The only people with the power to oppose these interdimensional creatures are warrior-maidens given the name of «Toji». Already a millennium has passed since the dawn of the war but the passage of time has done nothing to alleviate the fighting; a status quo has been maintained throughout time. However, this would all change when Japan held the 132nd Annual Swordsmanship Tournament. With that as a stage, a chain reaction of events began rippling throughout the island nation of Japan and these ripples do not merely stop in the archipelago———

Haruto Hasegawa is a completely ordinary second-year transfer student at Seimei Academy whose only goal is to fly under the radar and pass algebra. He doesn’t have a magical cheat code, an overpowered fantasy system, or a grand destiny. But his quiet school life shatters into a million pieces on his very first week when he tries to open a jammed door to the student council room. The door gives way, Haruto trips, and he accidentally crashes flat on top of Miyu Shizukuishi—the academy’s notoriously strict, untouchable, and flawlessly perfect Student Council President. Worse yet, his hands land exactly where they shouldn’t, causing a legendary wardrobe malfunction that leaves the icy president completely radioactive with embarrassment. To protect her pristine disciplinary reputation from a campus scandal, Miyu forces Haruto into absolute secrecy and drafts him as her personal, forced student council assistant. Haruto expects a brutal punishment from a tyrant. Instead, he begins to find himself constantly locked in tight spaces with her—from hiding cramped under a desk to tumbling between isolated library bookshelves. With every hilarious, skin-ship accident that occurs, Haruto discovers a shocking truth: beneath her terrifying, icy exterior, the perfect president is actually an incredibly flustered, vulnerable, and deeply caring total softie who cooks him cute lunches and gets clumsy when nervous. Can Haruto’s heart survive the absolute minefield of daily assistant duties? Or will his clumsy hands accidentally trigger a full-blown campus romance before the school festival arrives?
