Yuuto Sakurai – The Anti-NTR Man – had officially completed his first real request.
It was time to return to his own life. By now, he'd been missing from school for over a month—something the principal didn't take lightly. He wanted Yuuto back in class.
His school? INK Public School—a chaotic mix of high school, middle school, and even elementary all packed into one. A school once infamous for its leader: John "Shiyon" Michaels.
Back in the day, street fights between schools were common. Shiyon led INK to the top with sheer dominance… though, to be fair, this school was already violent to begin with.
Recently, though, things changed. INK had been reformed. Even the troublemakers had started working to keep it together—they'd grown to feel safe there.
After a long, draining talk between Yuuto and the principal, they reached a compromise:
Yuuto had to join a club as punishment.
That club was the Culture Club, led by second-year student Sato Shizume.
It was a small group, responsible for planning school events. Just five members total:
Chiyoko – A pink-haired first-year with a crush on Sato. She wasn't alone—lots of students looked up to him.
Hiyori – A tall, brawny third-year. Sato's childhood friend. And his crush. She's an undisclosed powerhouse within the school.
Shun – Said he'd join Sendo's kendo club... and bailed.
Yuuto – A 19-year-old dropout-looking loser who somehow ended up here.
Sato Shizume – A second-year handed the club president title by his seniors. Hardworking, kind, and deeply admired. He believes everyone is like a flower that needs to be watered—something Hiyori told him back when he hit rock bottom.
The plot in this arc? Classic.
Sato and Hiyori love each other, but like any real romance—it's complicated.
Around this time, the author wasn't sure what direction to take, so he just… added more characters.
Two… no, three—wait, FOUR new faces entered the scene (Additionally):
Shiyon (John) Michaels – The "leader" of INK Public School.
Yuuno Michaels – The middle Michaels brother, between Shiyon and Sendo. He appears to be confident, attractive, and the more sinister brother - one that has direct relations to the FD/MD-01 drug that alters the brain's chemistry - to the organization that manufactures it. Hinted to be Black Letter; the most horrifying school in existence that is more of a myth than a real tale - Something that even Shiyon Michaels is afraid of.
Tsubasa Gon – A thug with a temper and a mouth full of swears… who turns surprisingly reflective after a certain event.
Konro Yukie – Gon's best friend. Both Gon and Konro are Shiyon's subordinates. And in case you're wondering:
Yes, it's unclear what Konro's even doing right now. We haven't heard from him in ages.
Back to the story—
Yuuto has been actively sabotaging his own image. Making people hate him. One time, he clowned on Shiyon so badly that nobody took Yuuto's side anymore - Shiyon was a very beloved figure in the school - to some an idol and role-model. They even planned to beat Yuuto up to teach him a lesson.
Yuuto tried to calm things down by threatening to record them—but they didn't care anymore.
They just wanted to hurt him.
Yuuto originally planned to just let them. But then he remembered the lesson he learned from his last job:
If he wants to keep doing Anti-NTR work, he has to take care of his body.
He can't afford to get injured.
So, he got ready to fight.
That's when Shiyon and Sendo stepped in. Shiyon was itching for a fight, and Yuuto had no choice but to accept.
Yuuto won. Afterward, Shiyon promised never to tell anyone about Yuuto's strength.
Around that time, a new character was introduced:
Sakura Takagi, a second-year who had grown interested in Yuuto—especially after he saved her from being blackmailed by a teacher months ago.
When she heard her friend Kiriko was rescued by someone, she connected the dots and figured it was Yuuto. She confronted him about it and realized that the only way to get through to him was to be firm. She made him swear to be nicer to people.
Yuuto took it seriously... to a degree.
Sato also started warming up to Yuuto. Why? It's not entirely clear. Maybe he just found it refreshing that Yuuto stood his ground no matter what anyone said.
Meanwhile (ugh, the author forgot this subplot for a while):
Hina, a first-year, had a crush on Sendo.
Sendo liked her presence, and she seemed genuinely into kendo—which thrilled him. Before long, they became a couple.
But here's the problem:
Hina was Kenichi's childhood friend. Kenichi was also part of the kendo club. After a blow-up, Kenichi quit—blaming Sendo for "stealing her," even though it was Hina who made the first move.
While all that was brewing, the Culture Club was sent to an onsen resort to test the waters before the whole school went. For reasons not yet clarified, Shiyon tagged along—apparently to protect them.
They went.
And it was there that Shun realized something:
Yuuto isn't just a weakling or a lunatic.
He's someone who earned Shiyon's respect—especially when a group tried to kidnap the girls.
Yuuto defeated all four attackers and saved them.
Since then, Chiyoko started seeing him in a very different light.
Actually, so did the others.
Shun, tormented by his own powerlessness, begged Shiyon to train him.
But Shiyon refused—because Shun had previously bailed on Sendo after promising to join his club.
Meanwhile, Sakura, frustrated with Yuuto's attitude, went to a mixer with Gon and Konro.
That group was also attacked—this time by people claiming to be graduates of Black Letter.
They used the drug FD-01, putting the girls in a haze. Two of them are still undergoing treatment.
Sakura was also exposed—but not fully.
When things looked hopeless, Minoru (Sakura's brother and a former member of Black Letter) entered the scene.
He made quick work of the attackers—and even rescued Sendo, who had been fighting the bouncer.
Then came the twist:
Minoru met Seiichiro, Yuuto's biological father, who cleaned up the scene and told Minoru to protect his sister no matter what.
Following the incident, Shiyon, enraged, went to confront his brother Yuuno.
Details of that conversation are still unknown—but after it, Shiyon's attitude toward Yuuno softened.
Yuuto and the Culture Club returned from the resort, and Yuuto started investigating what happened. But no one would tell him much.
In response to the attack, the long-dormant Disciplinary Committee was reinstated.
Shiyon explained that due to these targeted assaults, stricter rules were needed.
Yuuto eventually pieced together what happened to Sakura—realizing it from how she reacted to physical touch.
His emotional outburst led to tension with Shiyon, but Sato—grateful that Yuuto protected Hiyori—jumped in to defend him.
Yuuto later followed Sakura home.
He was shaken by her behavior and quietly left her house…
…only to find Himiko and Haruto. Dead.
A new group—far stronger than Yuuto—ambushed him and forced a heavy dose of MD-01 up his nose.
That much would have destroyed anyone else.
But with Yuuto?
It had a different effect.
He blacked out—and woke up surrounded by massacred bodies.
Then collapsed, experiencing a full mental breakdown.
⚠️ FROM THIS POINT, THE STORY SHIFTS TO SATO:
Sato lives with a delinquent sister who dominates him and strips away his sense of agency.
He suppresses himself for Hiyori's sake—but eventually gets kicked out for standing up to his sister.
Yuuto takes him in without question.
Sato clings to an ideal:
Due to his morally rotten upbringing, he's elevated love into something unreachable.
He plans to confess to Hiyori during the upcoming school festival—wanting it to be perfect, fairy-tale style.
Even if it means frustrating her in the meantime.
But he starts to unravel… Especially after seeing Hiyori getting close with Yuuno, who's been mysteriously silent all this time.
Sato breaks.
He confesses too early, in a rush——and Hiyori shuts him down. Says he was too late.
She loves someone else now.
His perfect image of love starts to crack.
But he hasn't given up. He decided to still put up a performance at the festival.
-------------------- ...AND THEN BACK TO YUUTO AGAIN --------------------
To make the Disciplinary Committee functional, graduates from other schools were brought into INK.
It unsettled the students, but most brushed it off—after all, Shiyon trusted them.
During this time, Sakura was still at home recovering.
She heard from her best friend Kiriko about a strange development:
Kiriko was being blackmailed into a relationship… but had started to like it.
To Sakura, it sounded eerily familiar—like she was being drugged with the same substance Sakura had been exposed to.
She told Minoru her concerns.
Minoru, in turn, passed them on to Yuuto.
Apparently, they'd been in contact this whole time—Yuuto thought Minoru was just an artist he worked with through a website.
Now, Minoru commissions Yuuto to investigate the case directly.
Yuuto returns to school—and immediately finds the Disciplinary Committee about to assault Riko, Shun's girlfriend.
He stops them, saves her, and confiscates the drug they were planning to use.
Riko is grateful.
But now she's feeling something new—a confusing emotional pull toward Yuuto that she can't explain.
Lastly...
Yuuno pays a visit to Kenichi.
It seems he's planning to use him—to do something to Sendo.
