content
At the private Myōjō girls' high school, a “black class” is formed by 13 students. Of these, 12 would-be assassins and the thirteenth, Haru Ichinose ( 一 ノ 瀬 晴 ), are their target. She is said to be killed by the end of the school year. Anyone who fails by the assassins or who exposes this plan to outsiders will be expelled from school. But Haru Ichinose soon turns out to be not as easy a victim as it initially seems. And Tokaku Azuma ( 東 兎 角 ), one of the 12 budding assassins, develops feelings for Haru and takes her side. From then on they both fight together against the rest of the class.
