Plot
 | This article is missing information about section. (January 2013) |
While on a train during Tokyo rush hour, high school student Fukaya finds himself crushed against his classmate, the silent Fujino Shion (藤乃紫音). Unknown to Fukaya, Fujino has a vibrator in her vagina, which increased its intensity when Fukaya pushed himself against her. Unable to turn off the vibrator discreetly, Fujino endures the train ride while requesting Fukaya to satisfy her sexual cravings, to which he complies. After they get off the train, Fujino gives Fukaya a remote control for her vibrator as a thank you gift. After the incident, Fujino meets Fukaya to satisfy her sexual needs.
Not impressed by Fukaya's libido, she runs off and meets Mita, a girl who has a crush on Fukaya. Mita gives Fujino a potion that she said will improve Fujino and Fukaya's sex life warning her not to drink it. Curious about the contents of the potion, she drinks it. The potion increased Fujino's sexual desire. In an attempt to rid herself off the effects of the potion, Fujino takes Fukaya into a school bathroom and tells him to repeatedly have sex with her. This is also the first and only time when she speaks to him. He does so until she faints. Fukaya takes Fujino to the school nurse. He meets Mita in the hallway and questions her about why Fujino would be so sexually active. In response, Mita kisses Fukaya, her lips laced with the potion. With his libido increased, he takes Mita home, where she forces herself on him. Meanwhile, Fujino wakes up at the nurse's office and wants to know the nurse where Fukaya is. She tells Fujino that she last saw him with Mita. Fearing for Fukaya, she runs to his house to find Mita and Fukaya having sex. Disgusted, Fujino runs out of the house, with Fukaya chasing after her. Fukaya explains the situation to her and have make-up sex in an alleyway.
One day, Fukaya falls down on his head, causing memory loss. Mita takes advantage of the situation and calls herself his girlfriend. He has sex with both of them and is still confused as to which girl is his girlfriend.
