A genius novelist whose medium is erotica surrounded by other geniuses who actually respect the craft, not the subject matter. The show treats its protagonist's embarrassing dream with more sincerity than he deserves, which makes the whole thing quietly funny. The pacing drags and the plot barely exists, but that's almost the point: this is a show about a kid trying to prove something to people who will never stop seeing him as a joke.
Taketo Akutagawa is a teenage novelist whose talent earns him a place at Inspiration Academy, a private high school that admits only geniuses. His specialty is erotic fiction, and many people think poorly of him for it. That does not slow him down: he wants to finish at the top of his class and be recognized as the greatest writer in the world. His unusual skill with words also puts him at the head of his classmates in a competition between classes. Adapted from a light novel series, the twelve-episode TV comedy mixes romance with ecchi fan service.
