The series contained thirteen episodes which aired between January 7 and March 31 on the TV Tokyo Japanese television network. The story follows the lives of a group of teenage girls attending Lillian Catholic school for girls in Tokyo, Japan. A common theme throughout the series revolves around the lives and close relationships of the school's student council known as the Yamayuri Council.
