Story
The story is set in Myojo Gakuen's 10th Grade Black Class made up of one target girl and 12 assassins, who are all high-school girls looking to kill the target. Haru Ichinose with her life at stake vows to graduate alive. While realizing that Haru is the target, Tokaku Azuma is gradually attracted to her as they get closer to each other. When the classmates pull the sword on Haru, will Tokaku stand up against them to protect her or..?
Private School Myojo Gakuen… The school holds the Black Class on an irregular basis. The boarding school provides integrated education from elementary school through university. Many children of politicians and rich families are enrolled, who have connections with influential people.
10th Grade Black Class… In this class, whoever is able to kill the target high school girl faster than anyone else is granted a desired reward. A total of 12 girls ranging from professionally trained assassins to lust murderers are gathered as classmates. The reason for holding the class is unclear. Two students share one room at the boarding school. The luxurious dorm even has a large public bath. The general students gossip that the girls are elite students from overseas or perhaps a special secret class for idols.
