It all begins to unravel in episode 1, when Shuji wakes up after a night of drinking, finds an incredibly beautiful young woman in bed with him. She is Saeki Hikari (played by Emi Takei). Kashiwagi is taken by surprise, but does not remember a thing about the previous night.
Shuji is late for the first day of school, so he hurriedly gives the young woman a key, asking her to lock up and to place the key in the mail box when she leaves.
He arrives to school, and after the entrance ceremony, he goes to his homeroom class to take roll call. Two students are not there....
Nozomi Sonoda (played by the lovely and genki Ayame Gouriki, and a student named Saeki Hikari.

room.
Emi is stunningly beautiful, and the cameraman catches every shot he can to capture Emi in that light.
