Liar, lair
Academy Island is a city of schools where students battle each other to earn stars. Each student shares the same goal: to win and collect enough stars to earn the prestigious title of Seven Stars.
Hiroto Shinohara, a new transfer student, stirs things up by deposing Sarasa, the previous year's Seven Stars, and presenting himself as the Seven Stars who will rule over all. However, what they don't know is that it's all just a big bluff.
