Summary

Mira Munakata is a freshman with an Oedipus complex who, in the first scene of the anime, is going to his first day at Hakuou High School. He is in love with Kyousuke Munakata, a handsome actor and his father, and the two of them are involved in a romantic and sexual relationship.

However, trouble arises when Mira finds adoption papers and realises that Kyousuke may not be related to him at all. This causes much distress for Mira who had already thought that Kyousuke was cheating on him. One woman in particular, the beautiful actress Mitsuki Utsunomiya, is rumoured to be marrying Kyousuke.

In the meantime, Mira is chased by other school friends such as Takayuki Utsunomiya, a third year from high school, and his best friend Kazuki Hino, who is also in love with him.
