Plot

[edit]

The story follows a group of high school girls who are in the 'Going-Home Club'. Instead of doing regular club activities, the 'Going-Home Club' is dedicated to having as much fun as possible, by doing such things as playing video games or even simply feeding pigeons in the park.

Characters

[edit]
Natsuki Ando (安藤 夏希, Andō Natsuki)
Voiced by: Ibuki Kido
One of two freshman who joined the Going Home Club at the start of the school year. She is the member of the club with a straight and serious personality and she generally does not get the jokes that the club members are giving.
Karin Tono (塔野 花梨, Tōno Karin)
Voiced by: Mizuki Yuina
Supervisor of the Going Home Club and the other new member at the start of the school year. She is airheaded, but is excellent at home economics. She joined the Going Home Club because she could not decide between joining the Handicraft Club or the Cooking Club. Her cute looks are greatly admired by the club members to the point that it has become Botan's biggest weakness.
Sakura Domyoji (道明寺 桜, Dōmyōji Sakura)
Voiced by: Miharu Kobayashi
The president of the Going Home Club. She is the self-proclaimed ordinary girl of the club. She has an energetic personality.
Claire Kokonoe (九重 クレア, Kokonoe Claire)
Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi
Treasurer of the Going Home Club. She is the heiress to her family's mega-corporation. She enrolled at the school because she wanted a normal school life.
Botan Ohagi (大萩 牡丹, Ōhagi Botan)
Voiced by: Sae Aiuchi
Commander of the Going Home Club. She is an expert in various martial arts as she is the successor to an ancient martial arts school. Her skills are so highly developed that other kids became afraid of her until meeting Sakura. Despite being invincible, Karin's cuteness has proven to be her Achilles' heel.
The Seal (あざらし, Azarashi)
Voiced by: M.A.O
The mascot of the club, yet it is not perceived by other members. It also acts as narrator in some situations.
