Synopsis:

The seemingly frivolous world of the Food Research Club is thrown into disarray by the approaching student elections. Yuuki Oojima and his fellow club members face the potential disbandment of their beloved organization when Satsuki Shinonome, a driven candidate focused on fiscal responsibility, targets their club's budget for reallocation. The narrative explores the clash between carefree enjoyment and perceived institutional value within the school environment.

President Chisato Sumiyoshi rallies the club to defend their existence, navigating bureaucratic hurdles and public perception to preserve their unique purpose. The series examines themes of community, resource allocation, and the importance of unconventional pursuits in a structured setting. It presents a slice-of-life perspective on high school politics, emphasizing the characters' determination to protect something they value, even against overwhelming odds. The story unfolds with a blend of humor and earnestness as they attempt to outmaneuver a formidable opponent.
