Synopsis

Noya Itsuki has started his school year at Ebisugawa High School. Since he was always been fascinated by space, he decides to join the astronomy club: “Tenmon-bu”. Unfortunately he walks into the all girls otaku club which is also known as “Tenmon-bu” but written with different kanji. Noya has yet to realise that the club is more interested in anime than astronomy and finds himself surrounded by “fujoshi” who will make his life complicated.
