Chio Miyamo is a first-year student at a private school called Samejima Academy High School. She is a member of the soft tennis club and tries to live quietly, not wanting to stand out because she feels she looks plain. Even though she likes to blend in, Chio is quick-witted and a little playful. She is obsessed with video games, especially Western ones, and shows impressive athletic skills. These talents help her get through tough and even dangerous situations, even if her solutions are not always normal. She is very careful with money and doesn't like spending more than she should. At school, Chio has a close but mischievous friendship with Manana Nonomura and gets unwanted attention from Mayuta Andō, whose strange attempts at romance sometimes leave her confused. Chio’s life is filled with funny, awkward, and totally unexpected moments on her way to school.
