When student Tadokoro joins the university's erotic writing club, he initially finds a somewhat lifeless gathering of five men around a table. Led by the 56-year-old Sakamoto, who is still enrolled because "being married gives you a discount on tuition", they congregate in a cramped room whose four walls are covered floor to ceiling with nudie posters.

The club's sole female member, the spunky Mayama, is also its most talented, and already contributing to a weekly men's magazine and getting paid for it. Mayama immediately recognizes the anxious newcomer for the virgin that he is, and has soon whisked him back to her place for deflowering. Once she has she coaxed him into her bed she sits in front of her computer to incorporate the experience in her story; the serialized adventures of a 14-year-old virginal boy and the older woman who educates him in the ways of the woman. Tadokoro quickly becomes her case study and model for the ongoing plot, but he soon realises he wants more from this unsettlingly confident and self-assured girl than the occasional quick jump in the sack.
