Tsubaki has settled into the grim rhythms of confinement in an all-female prison, where each day passes behind the same unforgiving walls. That fragile routine is thrown into jeopardy with the arrival of Hachinuma, a newly appointed warden whose posting bodes ill from the very start—the newcomer appears to carry a personal grudge against Tsubaki. With every aspect of prison life now under the warden's authority, that simmering hostility could spell serious trouble for her, and with nowhere to run, Tsubaki must somehow endure the attention of a superior who seems bent on making things difficult. August 31st follows a girl on the final day of summer vacation, ruefully aware that the season has slipped away and she has not yet lost her virginity. When she catches a virginal classmate peeping at her next-door neighbor, an unexpected opportunity presents itself: rather than expose him, she resolves to seduce him, determined to erase her regret before summer ends for good. In The Three Who Live Next Door, a birthday takes a memorable turn when a lovely young lady from the neighboring home appears bearing a present—and the gift turns out to be none other than herself. Rounding out the collection are further shorts, including a side story to Student Council President Hanahira in which the principal experiences the best single day ever.
