Premise

One day, high school student Koushi Shirota catches the student council president and school madonna, Takane Takamine, changing her clothes. Later, when he notices that she received a 98 on her test result, she removes her panties, and he sees her receiving the result again, but this time with a perfect score. Takamine soon confronts Shirota and tells him that she has the ability to rewind time by taking off her underwear, which then disappears. However, because he saw her naked, he is able to go back in time with her. She then forces him to be her "closet" by replacing her underwear with fresh ones wherever she uses the power, and to keep it all a secret from others.

Takane Takamine is admired for her excellence in academics and sports and is voted student council president. Koushi Shirota on the other hand is a complete nobody. While Shirota is hiding out in the gym storage room, Takamine enters and changes her bra, causing the former to see her breasts. In their classroom, he witnesses Takamine take off her panties after getting a 98 on an exam. Suddenly, she has a 100 and Shirota is seemingly the only one to remember what happened. Takamine later demonstrates that when she takes off her underwear, she gains the ability to change the past. Due to what he saw previously, Shirota has gained the ability to perceive the changes she makes. The only drawback is whichever piece of underwear she removes will vanish. Therefore, she demands Shirota become her closet, carrying spare underwear for her and helping her change into it without anyone noticing. When Shirota tries to refuse, Takamine screams he is molesting her. To avoid being arrested, Shirota is forced to swear his loyalty. A satisfied Takamine uses her power to undo her accusation.

Takamine insists Shirota carry a bag of underwear at all times. During class, Takamine decides she did not like how she recited a poem, takes off her panties and recites it again to coincide with a dramatic gust of wind through the window. Shirota panics as he must get new panties onto Takamine during class. She throws an eraser on the floor, providing an excuse for him to kneel in front of her without anyone noticing. He soon realizes, however, that he did not push the panties all the way up. With the teacher asking students to collect paperwork, it is a matter of time before Takamine has to stand up. Shirota quickly collects Takamine's papers himself and pushes the panties up with his knee, catching her off guard. At the end of the day, she congratulates his success, suggesting he tried hard because he wants to be the only one allowed to see her underwear. Shirota then asks about the noise she made earlier, but she angrily denies it. Later that night, Takamine considers using more risqué panties, but decides Shirota is not ready for them yet.

Shirota soon falls downstairs following Takamine's reply to his response to him peeking at her. He eventually awakens and Takamine admits she respects him just a little bit for his honesty. Later, Takamine coaches his running club and uses her powers to help him complete the race in under 30 minutes, which only happened because Shirota did not want the others to see under her skirt. He is so pleased he accidentally goes home with Takamine's underwear bag. She texts him to remind him the bag also contains her sports bra, and torments him with risqué pictures of her jogging braless. He initially dismisses the situation until he realizes she might find herself in potential danger. Having been joking around, Takamine is pleasantly surprised when Shirota arrives at her location as he was worried about her. She is glad that she can rely on him, while Shirota is unusually happy he is the only person in the world she trusts.

Shirota is confused why Takamine reversed time for a swimming race she had already won in order to win it again. When he wonders how she did it, she teasingly reveals she removed one of the pasties she was wearing. Takamine takes Shirota underwear shopping and demands he choose for her. After hearing his explanation why he selected a pair of blue panties, a secretly happy Takamine drags him into yet another lingerie shop. The next day, Shirota has a fever so Takamine takes him home to care for him. Seeing how her teasing has upset him, she rewinds time to undo it. She then rewinds time again by taking her bra off, this time ensuring she had put on deodorant after gym class, and climbs into bed with him to share body heat. Shirota is surprised by how comforted he feels. While half asleep, he asks why she is sometimes so nice to him. Takamine recalls her lonely childhood until she met Shirota, who helped her rescue an orphaned kitten, which she still owns. It also frustrates her that he has not yet realizes he is special to her.

Shirota realizes he has not finished several assignments. Throughout the day, he notices Takamine refusing to use her power, though this exhausts her. He insists she redo something to feel better and she agrees, but only if he removes her panties for her. To prevent this happening again, Takamine decides to help with his summer homework. At her home, Takamine wants to show Shirota her cat Kuro. Because Kuro is away, however, Takamine dons cat ears. A storm occurs so Takamine insists he stay overnight. Once Kuro returns, Takamine is disappointed Shirota does not recognize her. Irritated, she uses all the soap so he cannot take a shower, then sits in just a towel to torment him. Shirota abruptly remembers rescuing a cat with a girl who gave him a love confession he did not respond to. He has always wanted to apologize but never learned her name. Takamine feels hopeful until he asks if she knows who the girl is. When lightning strikes, Takamine is so scared her towel falls off and she jumps on Shirota naked. Secretly, she is glad to have an excuse to hug him.

Takamine suggests she and Shirota roleplay as newlyweds. Shirota panics when she cooks dinner naked, so she allows him to put panties on her, only to take them off again when he burns the food. She then teases him by offering to let him lick some stew off of her. After dinner, Shirota is shocked when Takamine joins him in a risqué bikini to wash his back and hair. Shirota struggles to ensure Takamine does not see his arousal, only to fail when he accidentally grabs her breast. Having seen it, Takamine becomes unexpectedly embarrassed. A few days later, Shirota helps Takamine with patrolling a local festival, ensuring students behave themselves. Takamine reveals she has no underwear under her yukata and insists he put some on in public. Takamine rewinds time several times to search different areas, but becomes more frustrated each time they find nothing. Realizing she often searches areas filled with couples, Shirota wonders if maybe she is expecting a confession from him and is rewinding time to give him multiple opportunities. After watching the fireworks, he blurts out that they are beautiful, which seems to please her, so she stops rewinding time.

Reception

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first manga volume 2 out of 5 stars, criticizing the writing for at times being mean-spirited, but otherwise enjoyed the ludicrous factor and the fan service artwork. Lynzee Loveridge rated it a "No thanks", especially with the extortion condition "I can get sexy lady fanservice of all stripes without the loaded baggage of this shit."^[5]

In June 2021, Please Put Them On, Takamine-san was nominated for the seventh Next Manga Award in the Best Printed Manga category.^[31]
