The Midorigaoka High School Film Club’s ­new­est member Shion Yoshino knows exactly what he wants, and he’s not afraid to work for it. There’s just one catch: it has nothing to do with film. Shion’s looking for the picture-­perfect Prince Charming, and he’ll do whatever it takes to find him, even if that means joining a club full of nerds. He announces his intentions on his very first day in the group, only for the club’s former Vice President, Rei Inaba, to make a stunning declaration: “I can promise you, 100%, you won’t find a boyfriend here.” Not long after, however, it’s Rei himself who kisses Shion and asks him out! What does it all mean? One thing is for certain: Shion Yoshino won’t give up on his dream without a fight!

What happens when roommates-turned-lovers turn into viral sensations? And what if your happily-ever-after has an expiration date…?

It’s been three months since roommates Mao and Hisashi took their relationship to the next level, and Mao couldn’t be more in love…or more nervous that he’s not doing enough to keep his experienced partner satisfied. Just when it seems like he may have figured things out, the film club’s movie goes viral, and suddenly everyone wants a piece of its breakaway star: Hisashi. With graduation right around the corner, Mao must find a way to keep them together or risk leaving their future to the uncertain tides of fate.

Jin, third-year director, lead actor, and president of the film club, and second-year director Giichi see eye-to-eye on very little. Jin is flashy, flirty, and focused on keeping everyone happy, while Giichi expects the best from himself and others, and will compromise nothing to see his vision through. 

Constantly at each other’s throats, the two can hardly stand to be in the same club. But what will happen when family trouble forces them to share the same dorm room? Will their common interests bring them closer as friends, push them further apart as rivals—or something else entirely?
