The narrator won't shut up about how flat-chested the girls are, and somehow that's the joke, not the girls, but that someone is desperately trying to be edgy while the show stays genuinely warm around them. Every episode rewrites a fairytale premise into a high school problem and solves it with character and charm instead of plot mechanics. Ookami herself is built wrong for romance comedy, too tall, too masculine, too direct, which is exactly why watching her stumble through it lands harder than any conventionally cute heroine could.

Ryouko is a tall, rough-around-the-edges high school girl whose masculine way of speaking and fighting skill make her stand out from her peers. Her best friend Ringo is small and high-voiced. Both belong to the Otogi Bank, a school club with a simple principle: solve someone's problem now, collect a favor later. It's problem-solving on credit, where debts always come due. The club will go to any length to finish a job, which often drags its members into danger or mayhem, and Ryouko serves as its muscle. Because most members are girls, the club needs a boy for the riskier work, so it brings in Ryoushi, a shy boy who can't bear being looked at and who has just confessed his feelings to Ryouko. She doubts he could ever back her up in a fight. Comedy drives the show, with a narrator who pokes fun at the cast and a thread of romance running through the favors.
