The Chairman charges him to use his skills to help the athletes reach their full potential in exchange for granting him a scholarship. However, he must dodge the advances of the girls since coupling in the dorms is not allowed. A ongoing theme is that whenever he gives a girl a massage, they feel intense pleasure and usually orgasm. ==Characters==

Having long since mentally prepared to deal with clients of both sexes, Koyo pretty much grew up with his libido "shut off". ; : :A basketball player who is prudish and initially disdainful of Koyo. She often argues with Aoba. ; : :A soccer player who is flirtatious and desperate to find a boyfriend. She often argues with Aroma. ; : :A swimmer and aspiring manga and light novel author. ; : :A table tennis player and online gamer. ; : :Captain of the volleyball team who is unusually fit and strong, with an innate talent for massage herself. ; Vice Principal Shiraoka : :She's dedicated to maintaining the public order of the school while the principal is on vacation.
