On the way to the first day at her new high school, the orphan Hinako Nakayama has an accident with Hikaru Onigashima, who looks astonishingly similar to her. Since Hikaru is injured, Hinako is said to take his place in the induction ceremony at his school. But this turns into a fight, the Shishiku high school turns out to be a purely boys' school, to which mostly thugs and would-be gangsters go. Hinako was tricked by Hikaru, who wasn't really injured. The offspring of a Yakuza family should not go to school because they are considered too weak for Hinako to take their place. She is actually his twin sister. So far, his family has always won the school brawl. Now, thanks to Hinako, they have succeeded again, because in their tough life they always had to prevail against boys and is therefore well trained.

At the school, Hinako - still mistaken for Hikaru - is now being challenged by more and more classmates. Totomaru Minowa also competes against her after he first thought she was a weak boy and defended her. When Totomaru has lost, he swears allegiance to Hinako and wants to be her first follower. Next, the mysterious Takayuki Konparu challenges them to a fight. He, too, is defeated and joins the group. With this, Hinako defeated the strongest in the lower school.

One of the strongest of the middle school, the singer, idol and at the same time thug Yūta Mirako wins Hinako for herself by helping him. The student Rintarō Kira, who helped her, suspects Hinako's true identity because he knows her from the orphanage. He wants to dissuade her from defeating all the thugs in the school.
