The approaching end of Shuchiin Academy's 67th student council threatens the time Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane spend together. They belong to different classes, so the council provides their only opportunity to be together. Losing it would put their carefully devised plans at risk.
Meanwhile, the second school term is getting underway after an eventful summer break. As August gives way to September, Miyuki's birthday draws near, and Kaguya faces the difficult question of how to celebrate it. Alongside that personal dilemma comes a lengthy, hard-fought election, with several candidates competing for the presidency and the future of the next student council still undecided.
