Please Put Them On, Takamine-san

Premise

High school student Koushi Shirota catches student council president Takane Takamine changing clothes. He later sees her remove her underwear and rewind time to improve a test score. Takamine explains she can rewind time by taking off her underwear, which then disappears. She forces him to be her "closet," replacing her underwear whenever she uses the power, and to keep the secret.

Characters

Takane Takamine is the student council president and school madonna, admired by peers. She appears perfect because she can rewind time by removing an article of underwear, a power she gained from a childhood embarrassment where she wet herself. She has harbored feelings for Shirota since they cared for a stray cat together as children. She acts demanding at school but flirtatious and joking when alone with him, calling him a perverted virgin.

Koushi Shirota becomes her "closet," replacing her underwear when she rewinds time. He initially cooperates to avoid being accused of sexual assault, but later takes the task seriously to protect her. He was unaware of her romantic feelings.

Erie Evergreen, also called Eri, is Shirota's childhood friend with blonde hair who works as an amateur model. She attended different schools but later joins his cram school. She is a lesbian with a girlfriend, Rurika Kurosaki, who works part-time at a family restaurant. Erie notices Takamine's feelings for Shirota and tries to help.
