When Kazusa enters high school, she joins the Literature Club, where she leaps from reading innocent fiction to diving into the literary classics. But these novels are a bit more...adult than she was prepared for. Between euphemisms like fresh dewy grass and pork stew, crushing on the boy next door, and knowing you want to do that one thing before you die--discovering your budding sexuality is no easy feat! As if puberty wasn't awkward enough, the club consists of a brooding writer, the prettiest girl in school, an agreeable comrade, and an outspoken prude.
Fumbling over their own discomforts, these five teens get thrown into chaos over three little letters: S...E...X...!

小野寺和纱是高中一年级学生。她所属的文艺部现在有5个社团成员在籍，不过，有很多怪人的文艺部被其他学生揶揄为“垃圾堆”，社团成员们都过着和恋爱八卦无缘的校园生活。在社团活动中读到的文学作品中也有包含性描写的作品，和纱对其中描绘的行为感到羞耻的同时，也无法否认被引起的强烈兴趣。有一天，在文艺部讨论“死前想做的事情”时，成员之一菅原新菜说出了“做爱”这样一句话。从那一瞬间开始，面对至今为止避而不谈的围绕在自己周围的“性”，她们开始了被“性”所折磨的日子。
