Takashi Tōno is a freshman student who is transferred from Tokyo to Morimori Academy, a private college prep boarding high school located deep in the mountains. Soon after arriving, he befriends Kyōsuke Yaguchi, who is a member of the soccer club and invites Tōno to join him in the club. Tōno's lack of interest in sports forces him to enter the quietest club of all: the photography club. However, the photography club is not what it seems, since the members' duties consist of having sex with other students of the school.
Yarichin Bitch Club is written and illustrated by Ogeretsu Tanaka, who had been posting it on Pixiv since 2012.[2] The webcomic later received a print publication by Gentosha in 2016,[2] with chapters being released in five bound volumes.
The manga has been licensed for publication in the United States by SuBLime,[3] while in Germany by Egmont Manga under the name of Come to where the Bitch Boys are.[4]

| First-year student, Takashi Tono, transfers to Mori Mori Academy—a prestigious, all-boys boarding school located deep in the mountains—from Tokyo. Once there, he befriends a fellow first-year named Yaguchi from whom he learns that he is required to join a club. Thinking it will be the easiest club to choose, Tono finds himself in the Photography Club, where he immediately learns is just a cover for the Yarichin Bitch Club, a club dedicated to providing sexual services to the student body (and staff). Tono is joined by a fellow first-year, Yu Kashima, who also unwittingly joins the Bitch Club (he actually likes photography). Tono and Kashima discover that they will be required to meet a monthly quota, failure to do so, and they will be gang-banged by the rest of the club members. However, Kashima and Tono are both virgins. The two new members then have to fight off potential clients as the month goes on, while Tono tries to find his place at his new school, quickly becoming friends with Yaguchi, and getting to know Kashima and the other club members. In order to get out of meeting the quota (and getting gang-banged) Kashima exclaims that he and Tono are dating, surprising everyone, especially Tono. Later, Yuri, the club’s vice president, saves another student from committing suicide, leading this student to start stalking him.[6] | ||||||

| Yaguchi has always been jealous of his cousin, Kashima, for always out-doing him, and ultimately leading Yaguchi’s former crush to reject him. He plans to make Tono fall in love with him after finding out Kashima and Tono are dating. The students prepare for a camping trip into the mountains. Toro ends up in a group with Yaguchi and two other club members, Shikatani and Itome. During this trip, Tono grows to understand them more, while also getting closer with Yaguchi. Part of the camping trip involves a Test of Courage, however, and during their group’s turn, as a storm descends upon the camp, Yaguchi and Tono accidentally fall into a ravine and get separated from the other two group members. While freaking out about the storm, Tono discovers Yaguchi’s true self: he’s not the sweet, bubbly guy everybody thinks he is, he’s angry and vicious. During this time, Yuri and his (former) stalker, Fujisaki, grow closer, leading Yuri to reveal what his face looks like without his sunglasses only to him.[8] | ||||||

| Yaguchi tells Tono about his past and why he puts on his nice act all the time. Tono tries to convince him to be his real self instead of trying to please others. After the storm ends, the two make it back to the rest of the campers and Kashima takes Tono to the nurse and while alone together, Kashima confesses that he's actually in love with Tono. Later, the club has to move rooms and, in doing so, Tono learns some of the history of the club. Meanwhile, Kashima tries to convince Tono to date him, but Tono is struggling to figure out his feelings. Yaguchi begins to realize his own feelings for Tono, but has trouble expressing them, leading him to invite Tono over to help him clean his dorm room and then spend the night, sharing his bed. However, Yaguchi realizes his mistake when he's unable to sleep. Yuri takes Fujisaki’s virginity, and seems to be reciprocate Fujisaki’s love for him.[10] | ||||||

| Shitakani finds himself blackmailed by one of his regular partners, one of the teachers at Mori. While being trapped in this situation, he reflects on his past and his first love, whom he has avoided contacting since moving to Mori. The other club members, worried about Shitakani, devise a plan to get the teacher off his back. Later, Yaguchi continues to struggle with his growing feelings for Tono as well as the growing resentment he holds against Kashima. This leads to him and Kashima getting into a fight, which Tono breaks up, and during which Yaguchi lets out all the pent anger he has for Kashima. After realizing what he's done, and at Tono’s suggestion, Yaguchi reconciles with Kashima. For the start of summer vacation, the bitch club goes to a hot spring, with the intent to have endless sex. During this, Fujisaki asks Yuri to be his boyfriend, which shocks Yuri.[12] | ||||||
