Premise

Yōhei Hamaji is a high school student who is considered trash for being unpopular with the girls. He is recruited by Nakajima, a perverted upperclassman, to join the school's water polo team, under the premise that they get to do co-ed practice with the girls team and can touch them all they want during those sessions. Hamaji is berated by the girls' star player Chisato Hagiwara, but develops a crush on her because she is one of the girls who actually cares about him. He then tries to take water polo seriously to try to win her heart.
