Ken Kitano moves to South Korea with very little in the way of a plan. All he knows is that the girl of his dreams has come to Korea to become a police officer, and he's followed her here in the hopes he can make something of himself. Instead, he falls in with a gang and finds himself the leader. His main goal as the head of this gang is to fight for the little guy, to protect those in need from much larger, eviler gangs, and to use his strength as a force for good. Meanwhile, he keeps running into his crush at the most inopportune times.

Otakura has many hobbies — manga, anime, and collecting dolls, to name a few — that make him an “otaku”. He tries to hide his nerdy hobbies from his new high school classmates, but his diagonal neighbor spies some of his doodlings and takes an interest in his talents, particularly as they can help her. She asks “Otaku-kun” to help her re-create a press-on nails trend, try new hair styles, and even intervene with her friend who is being targeted by bullies. Otakura’s new friend, the vivacious and energetic Yua, is a “gal”, someone obsessed with fashion and being on the latest trend. The two span the hierarchy of social ladders, but Yua could care less about Otakura’s reputation.

The next consort outing is a casual garden tea party. Felia dresses for the mood and the other consorts in their fancy ball gowns make fun of her until the king arrives and he’s similarly dressed casually. Felia brings the same distinct tea leaves she served the king during their first meeting, so he easily discerns her brew in order to reward her with some private time together. After the tea party, jealous consorts retaliate by attacking Felia's residence, but Felia gets help from another consort who has chosen to become Felia's ally. King Macron steals away at any opportunity he gets so that he doesn’t have to wait until the next 31st in a month comes around to see Felia again.

Ichi gets to go on more assignments to deal with unruly majiks, starting with a shark majik that freezes villagers. The trial to capture this majik includes making her look fabulous and fashionable. Ichi's solution is inventive and completely outside the box. Later, at a meeting of witches, the council decides whether it’s time to announce Ichi to the world or not. A master witch, Togeice, believes Ichi is not skilled and refined yet, and challenges Ichi to a contest in order to settle the question. The contest includes pitting their respective skills against one another and seeing which method of capture majiks is the best. 
The phantom busters are given a task from the Student Body president in order to save their club room, and in the process, Mogari also reveals he has a fairly impossible task from his family to exorcist a large number of demons in a year or lose his privilege of going to school. The president secretly is a huge fan of the paranormal, but his steely exterior must be maintained, especially around his subordinates. Korekishi has his own problems — his mother threatens to have him transferred to another school if he doesn’t quit the phantom busters, and a former classmate also pressures him to quit the club to realize his full leadership potential elsewhere.
