''High School! Kimengumi'' is an episodic chronicle of the bizarre adventures of a group of misfit junior high school (and later high school) boys who form a club known as the "Kimengumi". All of the character names in the series are puns. For example, "Kawa Yui" is another way of saying "[[kawaii]]", and "Uru Chie" is a slang form of "urusai", meaning "obnoxious" or "annoying".
