Tsubaki's forbidden attraction becomes the show's actual plot, not just a gimmick. Every episode finds new ways to make her interior monologue combust while her friends stay completely oblivious, turning what could be a one-note premise into something genuinely funny because the comedy comes from her spiraling, not from the girls just being weird. It's built for people who watch romantic comedies but want the romance to stay completely one-sided and messy for thirteen straight episodes.
Deep in the mountains, far from anywhere, the all-female Akane Class trains young kunoichi to sharpen their ninja skills. They live by one rule that cannot be broken: men are dangerous, and contact with them is strictly forbidden. Tsubaki leads a squad called Team Dog and is a gifted trainee with a bright future. Then she starts to feel something strange in her heart whenever the subject of men comes up. She cannot tell what these mysterious feelings are, and as her curiosity grows, it starts getting in the way of her duties. The result is a supernatural comedy about a capable ninja thrown off balance by emotions she does not understand.
