The ‘Prince' of the Girls' School Shows Her ‘Maiden' Side Only to Me at Our Part-Time Job

Yamabuki Natsuki is a second-year student at Aotaka High School, an all-boys institution that shares a long-standing rivalry and romantic tradition with the neighboring all-girls Suzakura High School. Historically, the annual Aotaka Festival served as the primary venue for students from both schools to meet and form couples. However, the dynamic shifted dramatically with the arrival of Tachibana Iori, a second-year student at Suzakura High who is renowned as the "Prince of Suzakura." Iori possesses an androgynous, strikingly handsome appearance that captivates the entire female student body, effectively ending the romantic prospects for Aotaka males. Natsuki works part-time at Cyberia Shihou Central Branch, a family restaurant managed by a charismatic owner who recently hired Iori. The narrative begins with Iori’s first shift, where she immediately draws massive crowds of Suzakura students, turning the restaurant into a chaotic hub of admiration. Natsuki, initially skeptical of the rumors, becomes Iori’s mentor and witnesses her natural talent for customer service, which blends professional efficiency with a charming, princely demeanor that bewilders both staff and patrons.

The core conflict arises from the cultural disconnect between the two schools. The Aotaka student body, led by Natsuki’s friend Sasaki Souta, views Iori as the sole obstacle to their social and romantic lives. Natsuki finds himself caught between his duty to support his new coworker and the pressure from his peers. When the manager requests that Iori tone down her charismatic service to manage the overwhelming crowds, Natsuki intervenes, arguing that her unique appeal is beneficial to the business and that he, as her mentor, will manage the workload. This decision deepens his bond with Iori, who invites him to walk home and later asks him to help restore the tradition of Suzakura students attending the Aotaka Festival. Natsuki agrees, and Iori sets a condition: he must show her his "coolest side" during the festival events.

As the festival approaches, Natsuki learns that Iori has successfully persuaded the Suzakura student council to send a large delegation, reversing the previous year’s empty spectator stands. On the day of the festival, Iori appears at Natsuki’s classroom requesting to borrow his Aotaka uniform. She explains that the Suzakura students have asked her to wear the boys' uniform as a guest participant, a request she accepts to repay the favor of bringing the students to the event. Dressed in the uniform, Iori’s princely aura intensifies, leaving Natsuki’s classmates in awe and fueling rumors that she is Natsuki’s girlfriend. Natsuki denies the relationship, but the attention only grows.

The story culminates during the cavalry battle, a highlight event where students ride on each other’s shoulders while attempting to remove opponents’ hats. Natsuki, serving as the rider for his class’s team alongside his friend Hiura, devises a strategic plan to conserve energy and strike late. Despite their tactical advantage, they are defeated by the ace rider from Class 4, Sato, who employs a controversial move to snatch Natsuki’s hat. Humiliated and disappointed, Natsuki feels he has failed Iori’s expectation to perform well. However, his teammates rally around him, and Hiura fabricates a story that Natsuki is furious and seeks revenge in the upcoming relay race. The narrative ends with Natsuki preparing for the final event, driven by a renewed determination to prove himself, while the romantic and social tensions between the two schools continue to unfold around his growing connection with Iori.
