Plot

Itsuki Noya is a new student at Ebisugawa High School who joins his school's astronomy club only to discover that its club room is in the basement for some reason. What he finds inside is that the club is filled with weirdos who all happen to be girls.

Characters

A young boy who is the male heir of the Noya Group. Upon joining the Astronomical Club under the assumption it was the Astronomy Club, he is forced to crossdress, as Kyoko only wanted girls to join.
  • The Astronomical Club's delusional president who has a wild personality and is constantly harassing Hakata.
  • Kyoko's younger sister and Itsuki's personal maid, who is constantly treating him as her toy, forcing him to call her Elizabeth Margaret. Not willing to relinquish Itsuki to Kyoko, she transfers schools and joins the Astronomical Club. Although she treats Noya as her toy, she appears to have genuine feelings for him.
  • An author of yaoi dōjinshi who is constantly being sexually harassed by Kyoko.
  • An emotionless girl who simply goes with the flow. She appears to have a fetish for cats.
  • A polite and kindhearted member of the Astronomical Club, who is often seen conversing with Yuka. She will occasionally emit a scary aura.
  • The tsundere student council president who is constantly looking for a reason to shut down the Astronomical Club. She has feelings for Hasumi. She is also afraid of cats.
  • Supposedly the club's advisor, although she constantly insists that a cat is the advisor in order to escape harsh reality.
  • Itsuki's older brother and Shōko's "boyfriend". He is the same kind of person as Kyōko, but at a professional level.
