Akira is the sole remaining member of the classic literature club, which faces dissolution if he cannot recruit new members before the deadline. A suggestion from student council president Hotori sends him to the club room — where he finds four girls who are not there to join his club, but to claim the room the moment it folds. Hotori's proposal: persuade them to join. Whether Akira can actually convince four disinterested students to care about a club they showed up to dismantle is an open question.
