Takeru Ōyama ( 大 山 タ ケ ル ) comes to a high school that used to be an all-girls school and hopes to have lots of pretty girls around.

The popular Kodama Himegami ( 姫 神 コ ダ マ ), on the other hand, is hostile to Takeru and other boys, especially when they are chasing after other girls. In addition, Takeru soon learns that it is a school for people with magical abilities who practice these objects called "Maken". There are also duels in the school in which the magical powers are measured. But Takeru himself has no such skills and no Maken either.
