Synopsis:
It starts off when a condom is found in the school library. It belongs to an unexpected couple. Four boys - Shouhei, Kengo, Hayato and Kouji, find themselves to be the last virgins in school. A childhood friend of theirs, Chie, comes to the neighbourhood. Though they used to be attracted to her years ago, they no longer see her as a 'princess'. The story progresses to show the value of family, friendship, love, the curiosity of youngsters on sex, the hypocrisy of adults, the joy and sorrow of growing up and the complications of life.

PhoEnix's Comments:
Funny but with a point. Sex is such a taboo topic in this conventional society and thus, it makes the young even more curious to the unknown/unspeakable. However, I still have a reserved attitude towards sex education. It is good to a certain extent, but could it indirectly encourages young people to have premarital/underaged sex? It'll be a neverending argument.

PhoEnix's Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
