About this title

Synopsis

Hachimitsu Private Academy, an elite all-girls high school, opens its grandiose doors to male students for the first time in its history. The five males who enroll, however, are a merry band of perverts who are unable to communicate with girls! This cluster of misfits is composed of the foreign delinquent Shingo, the strange and sickly "Jo," the overweight "Andrei," the intelligent "Gakuto," and Kiyoshi, the most normal person of the bunch. Feeling troubled due to their lack of female interaction, the five boys embark on a dangerous mission to peek on several girls while they are bathing. However, owing to a series of mishaps, their operation ultimately fails, resulting in the boys' actions being exposed to the entire school. For their crimes, the boys are sentenced to one month of imprisonment by the menacing Underground Student Council. Little do the unforgiving beauties of the council know, the boys' perverted and unusual antics are just going to worsen. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Takehito Morokuzu2489 fan favorites
External profile
Gakuto is tall and wiry (only shorter than Reiji Andou from the boys), with black hair and black eyes. Gakuto is the only boy in the group to wear glasses and sports long locks. Noted to have been the leanest of the five, Gakuto gains muscle in the Prison Block from hard labor to become lean and tall with an average weight. Gakuto is a calculating and intelligent person, though relatively lacking in his studies. He is thus the mastermind behind a lot of the organized breakouts in the prison along with Kiyoshi Fujino. Gakuto's plots also prevent the boys from being excluded several times. He is obsessed with the Three Kingdoms and is the smartest of the five. However, in rare cases, if Takehito realizes that the plans he organized are failing and there is nothing he can do or think of, he would begin to get stress to the point of losing his own sanity out of frustration and gets driven into a state of crazed, ignorant and foolish actions. He is still one of the most lecherous of the five and shows 'otaku' habits in his behavior, spending much time at the School Library when not imprisoned and going to great lengths inside it in order to get a collector figurine. Gakuto has an eclectic & archaic style of speech, punctuating his words with "indeed" (ござる gozaru). He is a respectful person, referring to himself as "yours truly" (小生 shosei) and using the honorific "-dono" (どの) when referring to his friends. Gakuto is one of the most reliable characters in the series, sacrificing his long locks and dignity to prevent his friends from being harmed in any way. (Source: Prison School Wiki)
Kiyoshi Fujino527 fan favorites
External profile
Kiyoshi is a tall and handsome young man of average weight with dark blue hair, black eyes and he is lean at the start of the series, but he gains some muscle during his incarceration in the Prison Block of the school. During his stay in the Prison Block, Kiyoshi wears the standard male prison uniform of a sleeved white striped shirt and striped trousers. Kiyoshi is a level-headed individual who seems to have a strong resolve under hard pressure. Unlike the other boys, he does not let his desires get ahead of him, and tends to be the rational member of the group. Kiyoshi is markedly the most normal of the boys in design and character, as well as the main narrator of the manga in thought. He is tenacious but lacks the stubborn perversion of the other boys. However, he is capable of sometimes doing things that seem untoward or shocking to the other boys, such as cross-dressing to escape the Prison Block. Kiyoshi can be oblivious to his selfishness sometimes as seen when he intended to use the money that he gathered from other to buy something for his own personal reason. Kiyoshi can also be insecure with the other students and can be driven to action by other people's resolve. (Source: Prison School Wiki)
Reiji Andou238 fan favorites
External profile
Andrei is an obese tall young man, with black hair and pale skin. He has black hair and black eyes. Andrei is heavily covered in mounds of fat and also is the tallest out of the boys, proving himself as the strongest of the five boys during his incarceration in the Prison Block of the school by arm wrestling with the Vice President for five minutes. Andrei has the strangest facial features of any character in the series: his ear lobules reach all the way to the neck below his large head and even though his head is larger than a normal person's head, his face is proportionally smaller than the average teenage boy's face. The gentle-mannered calm nature of Andrei is shown in his deep care for his friends, often placing them ahead of himself in his relations with them. The care he shows to the other first year boys is especially apparent in his treatment of Jouji Nezu, who he values more than the other boys and shows more emotional concern about. The most lecherous member of the boys, Andrei is also an extreme masochist. The deviant behavior he characterizes throughout the series devolves into more sadistic behavior towards Meiko later on which he refers to as "Andrenomics" or "investment-upon-return".

Jouji Nezu225 fan favorites
External profile
Jouji is the shortest of the five; due to his frail constitution, he is rather weak and gaunt. No matter what he wears, Joe is always seen wearing a hood over his head that casts his eyes and most of his features in heavy shadow. The hood itself is revealed to be completely detached from any clothing, thus enabling Joe to wear it with anything — even in the pool. During his imprisonment, he wears the standard male prison uniform of white striped overalls paired with his signature hood. When Gakuto triple switches with Joe and Chiyo, it is Jo who impersonates Gakuto by wrapping bandages around his forehead and wearing glasses. After release from prison, Jouji goes back to wearing the standard male uniform. Joe is the sullen oddball of the five boys, who struggles to fit in outside his group of friends (and sometimes within). He suffers from a bloody cough due to severe stomatitis, though the disease is neither chronic nor physically debilitating to him. However, his canker sores do affect his speech, with bloody coughs often punctuating his sentences and interrupting his speech. Despite being the quietest, Joe is actually one of the more lecherous of the five, reflected in the crass way he speaks and makes jokes. Joe also has a love and appreciation for ants to add to his quirks, going so far as to name the ones he keeps in his ant farm and being able to tell them apart — though they all look alike. Towards his friends, Joe is shown to be accepting and supportive. (Source: Prison School Wiki)
Shingo Wakamoto26 fan favorites
External profile
Shingo is a teenage boy of average height, with blonde hair and light skin. His gelled hair and open collar give him the appearance of a thug. Shingo has an average weight with the least muscle of the five boys. Only Jouji Nezu is shorter than him out of the five boys. He is commonly seen wearing the normal school uniform with an open collar and no tie. Shingo is a moody and nonchalant individual who is often the source of the more pessimistic opinions shared by the boys. He often makes selfish decisions for self-promotion or personal benefit at the expense of the 'team', putting him at odds with the other boys. Shingo is one of the more lecherous people in the boys, eagerly plotting to peek at a female bathing area with the other boys. He can be excessively narcissistic at times, holding his physical appearance in high esteem and requesting a hair pomade as a prisoner gift. Though he is mostly loyal to the other boys, he sometimes acts with hypocrisy to betray them and then judge Kiyoshi Fujino badly for the same act. Shingo is prone to sulking and acting peevish when things are not going the way he likes, leaving his cell unkempt and constantly voicing his complaint when all their prison stays are extended.
