Taichi Yaegashi, Iori Nagase, Himeko Inaba, Yui Kiriyama, and Yoshifumi Aoki are five students at Yamaboshi Academy who form the Student Cultural Society, also known as StuCS, after realizing there are no other clubs where they fit in. The members of this school culture club encounter a bizarre phenomenon that disrupts their daily lives and throws them into chaos. The supernatural events begin when Aoki and Yui switch personalities without warning, a situation that eventually extends to the other club members. This phenomenon involves the students finding themselves inside the bodies of others, such as the girl or boy next door. As they navigate these unexpected changes, the group must deal with the consequences of being forced to answer questions they never wanted to know about the opposite sex. These supernatural phenomena serve to test the bonds between the five members by forcing them to reveal aspects of themselves. Through this wild game of musical bodies, the students must manage the chaos resulting from their shifting identities and the personal revelations forced upon them by these unexplained occurrences.
