The unprecedented era of the Bath-Skippers is here!
The year is 2036. The world has fallen into a severe water shortage. Water! Is! Absolutely! Scarce! To protect water resources, the Japanese government implements regular large-scale water outages.

Triggered by the outages, the number of people awakening to the comfort of "Bath-Skipping" skyrockets. Soon, society is divided into the Bath-Skippers, the Cleanliness Extremists who demand bathing, and the Sane Majority who are just tired of the fighting between the two. Suiho Academy was no exception. The Bath-Skipper faction vs. the Hygiene Disciplinary Committee. Caught in their radical conflict are the ordinary students who just want peace and a floral scent. Will peaceful school life and fresh fragrances ever return to Suiho Academy? In 2036, the world's most trivial yet most desperate battle begins!!
