Summary: Suga Kimio finds himself hiding in the girls locker room, unable to move or escape the situation as the girls in his school crowd in. Although he originally had no ulterior motives, he found himself panicking as he heard the girls coming in and hid in a locker. Komine Nozomi, one of the shy girls in his class finds him, but surprisingly covers for him. Perplexed but glad, Kimio goes home.
Later that night, he gets a text from Nozomi who happens to live across the way on the same floor of the complex they both live in. She blackmails him into agreeing to show each other’s bodies when she texts him. Kimio has to abide by Nozomi’s insane demands or risk ruining his school life so they both start their little peep show through each other’s windows…
Review: Another boring ecchi short series, in which the plot appeared to almost be hentai. Except it stayed w/in the ecchi zone. Kimio gets blackmailed by Nozomi, when she finds him in the girls locker room. But what she black mails him w/ is just allowing herself to be viewed in a voyeuristic kind of way for cheap thrills. It never gets resolved in the end so it felt like the plot was anticlimactic. She blackmails, she flashes, he tries to get out of it, she flashes again, and the cycle repeats. I thought she would demand he flash her, but she never does that so all you get is a supposed studious straight girl trying to be naughty by flashing a guy. Pfft, whatever.
