Plot

While on a train during Tokyo rush hour, high school student Fukaya Mamoru finds himself crushed against his classmate, the silent Fujino Shion (藤乃紫音). Unknown to Mamoru, Fujino has a vibrator in her vagina, which increased its intensity when Mamoru pushed himself against her. Unable to turn off the vibrator discreetly, Fujino endures the train ride while requesting Mamoru to satisfy her sexual cravings, to which he complies. After they get off the train, Fujino gives Mamoru a remote control for her vibrator as a thank you gift. After the incident, Fujino meets Mamoru to satisfy her sexual needs.

Curious about the contents of the potion while also thinking about Mamoru's well-being should it be poisoned or contaminated, Fujino drinks it. The potion increases Fujino's sexual desire. In an attempt to rid herself off the effects of the potion, Fujino takes Mamoru into a school bathroom and tells him to repeatedly have sex with her (Fujino's plea for sexual relief is the first and only time when she verbally speaks to him). He does so until she faints. Mamoru takes Fujino to the school nurse. He meets Mita in the hallway and questions her about why Fujino would be so sexually active. In response, Mita feeds him the potion via a kiss. With his libido increased, he takes Mita home, where she forces herself on him. Meanwhile, Fujino wakes up at the nurse's office and wants to know where Mamoru is. The nurse tells her that she last saw him with Mita. Fearing for Mamoru, she runs to his house to find Mita and Mamoru having sex. Disgusted, Fujino runs out of the house, with Mamoru chasing after her. Mamaru explains the situation to her, and they have
