Mayumi Dojima, a student at the exclusive Yubiwa High Academy, has lost something: a star she only saw once ten years ago. But help is on the way in the form of the unofficial, secret, and extremely mysterious Handsome Boys and Detective Club! These five handsome boys are supposed to take Mayumi into their world of excitement, danger, and overwhelming beauty to solve problems within the school (which they supposedly created) for aesthetic, not financial, reasons.
