At first glance, Hayate Ichikura, Shun Futami, Takayuki Mima, and Souma Shiki do not appear to have much in common besides their good looks and confident demeanors. However, despite their outward composure, they all share one surprising trait-they are quite clumsy! They frequently misplace their belongings, wear their clothing incorrectly, or get lost in unfamiliar places. To maintain their image of sophistication, they must pretend that these mistakes are intentional and keep their composure in public.
