Joro gets asked out twice in one week and immediately realizes he's completely irrelevant to both of them. The show spends its opening three episodes systematically demolishing every harem anime instinct you have, then loses its nerve and becomes the thing it was mocking. What saves it is Joro himself: a protagonist so transparently selfish and manipulative that watching him scheme his way through other people's love lives feels less like wish fulfillment and more like watching someone dig themselves deeper into a hole they created.
Joro's week takes an unexpected turn when two different girls ask him out on dates. Victory, right? Wrong. Student council president Cosmos and childhood friend Himawari both confess that they like his best friend Sun-chan, the baseball team's ace, and each asks Joro for help winning him over. Behind his friendly, oblivious act, Joro is a schemer, so he hatches a new plan: steer Sun-chan toward one of the girls and claim the other for himself. That plan is threatened by Pansy, a gloomy, sharp-tongued girl with glasses who sees through his act, seems to enjoy his troubles, and turns out to be the only one who actually likes him. What follows is a messy romantic comedy of lies, traps and misunderstandings among five students, mixing lighthearted hijinks with moments of drama.
