Plot
Takeru Ohyama, a young normal yet perverted minded guy, got accepted and now goes to a school that, unknown to him, was where combat and magic is used. Arriving at the school (which was once only for girls), he meets again after three years: Haruko Amaya, his childhood friend, Inaho Kushiya, a girl who says she's his fiance, and Kodama Himegami, a blonde who wants to kill him. Finding out that there are many girls there that just don't like him, he is told that everyone there uses a special magic ability while using an item or weapon called a Maken. Later, he finds that no Maken is acceptable for him and doesn't know what to do, since in this school the students get into duels that showcase their magic and combat power, of which he seemingly has none.Primary characters
Takeru Ohyam: - A perverted high school student. He hates his father believing him to be the reason his mother died.

He has periodically used this ability throughout the series without knowing it.
- Haruko Amaya:
- Called the strongest maiden in Tenbi by Kodama Himegami and the Vice-President of the student council.

She shares a room with Takeru Ohyama, Kodama Himegami and Inaho Kushiya.
- Inaho Kushiy:
Self proclaimed fiancee of Takeru Ohyama. She feels strongly for Takeru Ohyama, and although he doesn't remember her much she has decided to wait until he fully does. She holds Takeru's father in high regard. Upon revealing this, Takeru gets upset and ignores her, making her cry. - Kodama Himegam:
Wields shikigami that follow her around and call her ojou-sama. She needs element to survive, it has not fully been stated what exactly she is. But she has said to herself that she can't leave the tenbi area because the element doesn't flow as fully elsewhere. Which is why she went out to get a stone full of element so she could travel to the training grounds for the summer vacation.
