On entering the dorm he is introduced to a fellow student, Sachi Komine, who is wearing a maid uniform. The following morning he meets two more students, Amane Suou and Makina Irisu, in the lobby and later meets another student, Michiru Matsushima, in their classroom where she is practicing her "tsundere speech". Once the class begins he finds out that there is one more student in their class who is absent. Makina informs him that the absent student, Yumiko Sakaki, only comes in the evenings. When he comes to the classroom later that day to introduce himself, Yumiko tries to slash him with a box cutter. On returning to the dorm, he finds Amane changing clothes in his room and, during their discussion, he tells her that he had an older sister named Kazuki whose name she seems to recognize. Later, Yūji receives a phone call from J.B. who tells him that he has a job to do.

She then proceeds to jump onto his bed and masturbate after smelling his worn clothes. Yūji then makes his presence known to Amane's considerable embarrassment. While rushing to class later that morning he makes up a song for Makina in which he teases Amane for her earlier actions. At lunch, Amane expresses her concern that Makina is starting to imitate Yūji's mannerisms. That afternoon Yūji overhears an erotic voice and discovers that it is Michiru, who is playing with a kitten.

Michiru later discovered that the heart she received maintained its owner's original personality, with whom she was able communicate.

Sachi reveals that she believes that her parents were in the accident because she was selfish and that she has to be a good girl who does what she is told to make up for it.

Reluctantly, he agrees and proceeds to keep a close eye on her, to the envy of the other girls, especially Amane, who states that if Yūji is her father, then she could just as easily be her mother.

Yūji takes the job JB gave him but only so that he can protect her. To do so, he and Makina leave the Academy so as to present a moving target and Sachi gives Makina an apple sapling as a parting gift. The efforts of the organization to get hold of Makina are fruitless as Yūji is able to dispose of every agent sent after them. As they flee, Yūji becomes aware of Makina's recurrent nightmares involving her father. It is revealed that a few years earlier Makina's father found evidence of the Irisu Group's corruption and was killed in front of Makina on his wife's orders. Makina spent a number of years in a hospital recovering from the trauma. It is further revealed that she has a near photographic memory and had read some of the incriminating documents before her father's death. It turns out that Makina's mother ordered the hit on Makina because she phoned her mother and threatened to reveal the corruption unless her younger sister was kept safe.

When their latest hideout is compromised, Yūji manages to get them away but Makina forgets her sapling. Despite Yūji's admonition to forget about it, Makina returns to the hotel to search for it and is shot. Yūji shows up in time to take her to a hospital but is intercepted by JB. In the hospital, Makina's mother shows up and, to JB's horror and disgust, asks if Makina's internal organs are unharmed because Sarina is in need of an organ transplant. Later, a disguised Yūji shows up at the Irisu Group's HQ and shoots Makina's mother. With the contractor for the hit out of the picture, and with hard evidence of the Irisu Group's corruption in the hands of the organization, Yūji and a recovering Makina return to the Academy.

Two years later, Yūji is invited to his boss, JB's office, to talk about his childhood and upbringing. He tells her about a painful experience in his past involving his sister, Kazuki. Among her many talents, Kazuki was a gifted artist and selling her paintings soon became the main source of household finances. As a result, she also became the dominant person in the family. Kazuki is shown to have had a borderline incestuous love for her brother. Kazuki's death had a profound effect on the rest of the family. Having lost his primary source of income, their father became an alcoholic and abusive. Yūji and his mother fled, but about a year later Yūji's father found them and raped his wife in front of Yūji.

Sensing something was wrong, Yūji returned home and found that his mother had hanged herself. Yūji was taken in by one of the men who bought his sister's paintings. Yūji was forced to wear dresses and a silver wig, in which he looked remarkably like his sister and he would molest him. One day, one of his guardian's men tried to assault Yūji, who killed him in self-defense. Rather than being angry, his guardian seemed pleased and sent Yūji to a school where he and other children were taught various skills related to terrorism and assassination. Yūji's aptitude for this vocation earned him the antipathy of his fellow students, who regularly beat him. When the time for his graduation came, Yūji was pitted in a battle to the death against Marlin, the only student to show him kindness, but he was unable to bring himself to kill her. She later graduated but was killed on her first mission. When Yūji finally graduated, he became a skilled assassin who drew the attention of the organization.

While on a guard duty mission in Colombia, Yūji receives a call from JB informing him that Asako has collapsed causing him to rush home. Yūji reveals that Asako suffers from a kind of venous thrombosis and that the original cause was a capillary rupture that happened after Asako took a shot from a high-caliber rifle. While such a condition would normally be survivable, Asako, despite her periodic treatment, regularly used booster drugs which made her body fragile. The doctors concluded that there was nothing they could do for her. Now on her death bed, Asako welcomes Yūji home and he tries to will her into living and eventually breaks down in tears.

The girls question Chizuru about what happened to Yūji but all she tells them is a message left by Yūji himself telling them not to look for him or to get too deeply involved if he suddenly disappears as this is how his "company" works. Chizuru gives a brief explanation of Yūji's relationship with Heath Oslo causing Yumiko to hypothesize that the government may be using Yūji to bargain with Oslo as he considers Yūji to be important. Chizuru warns them not to do anything that might worsen Yūji's situation. She also announces that Mihama Academy will be closing soon due to Yumiko's father, the school's main sponsor, losing his position and because Makina's family has stopped giving contributions to the school. Later that night, the girls enter Yūji's room and find diary-like entries about the girls written all over his walls and floor including one that appears to be a suicide note. JB suddenly calls them and confirms that the news of Yūji being a terrorist is false but he is still under suspicion and is being kept in a holding facility.

The girls then gather information about Yūji and Heath Oslo using Yumiko's information network and learn that Oslo had smuggled a weapon of mass destruction into Japan. Yumiko herself confirms this when she meets one of her connections who is none other than Robert Wallson, Yūji's old friend and comrade in the army. Robbie, now known as James Okada, is a former intelligence operative and has opened his own soba restaurant after retiring. James reveals Yūji's location and gives Yumiko a detailed explanation about the Thanatos System, a semi-organic computer capable of hacking into every electronic and/or internet-capable device and can be considered the "brain" of the nation itself. James explains that acquiring the Thanatos System is Oslo's true goal and since the government cannot hand it over, they turned Yūji into a bargaining chip after Oslo attacked the consulate. Meanwhile, the other girls were reflecting on their future plans. The next day, Mihama Academy officially closes and all the girls, except Michiru, meet at the school's entrance where they resolve to help Yūji even if it means that they can never return to their old lives. After Sachi gives a farewell speech to the school, the girls prepare to leave but Michiru barely arrives after finally sorting out her feelings and all 5 of them leave Mihama Academy together. Back in the holding facility, Yūji is introduced to the Thanatos System itself which uses a hologram to project the image and voice of his supposedly deceased sister, Kazuki Kazami.

In the holding facility, Yūji confirms that the hologram is indeed Kazuki after she answers his question. She then reveals that Oslo had smuggled a new kind of nuclear bomb that can cover a radius of 50 kilometers should it explode. She also explains why Yūji is valuable to Oslo; Yuji is the only survivor of a human experiment to create the ultimate soldiers through various experiments, drug administration, and testing. However, the booster drugs used on the test subjects produced adverse side effects which resulted in the test subjects' deaths within 2 years but Yūji survived thus making him a valuable project sample. Meanwhile, Michiru finds a cellphone in her bag which then rings and Kazuki's voice is heard despite the number belonging to Yūji's phone. She introduces herself as Thanatos and offers the girls her assistance to rescue Yūji in order to disrupt Oslo's plans. Despite their doubts, they decide to cooperate with her not knowing who she really is though Amane finds the voice familiar but cannot remember properly. The next day, Kazuki provides each of them with special cellphones in order to contact each other without being traced. Before explaining her plan, she convinces Yumiko to admit her feelings for Yūji in order to test her resolve. Back at the Thanatos System's holding facility, Kazuki reveals the truth of what happened to her during the bus accident years ago after Amane had escaped while she was left behind.

JB explains to her assistant, Chiara Farrell, that she has been confined due to her being the person in charge of Yūji. She believes it is to keep her from giving an unwanted testimony and that Yūji may be executed for his supposed attack on the consulate. She also announces that she will have a different job after her return to Langley but Chiara reasons that it is only to keep JB quiet. JB then warns her from speaking too much as they are under surveillance. Back on the girls' houseboat base, Kazuki/Thanatos announces that Yūji will be transferred from the holding facility on August 6 at 6:00 p.m. and that the girls must prepare a sum of 100 million before then. She created a series of plans in order for them to earn the amount within a day and assigns the girls to do various jobs. Yumiko sells one of Makina's possessions online and uses an auction site to buy and sell. Amane rents a car and is made to memorize complex route around the town. She once again finds Thanatos' voice familiar. Sachi opens a private bank account and later accompanies Makina to a gun maker where she picks up a specially made, pink colored sniper rifle which was ordered ahead of time by Thanatos. The shop's owner, Morishima, strongly hints that he knew Asako, Yūji's late mentor and guardian, since she was a child as Makina strongly reminded him of her. Michiru, surprisingly, was assigned the most tiring task wherein she literally traveled to different countries within the day engaging in a variety of transactions moving billions by following Thanatos' detailed instructions and ultimately left with just enough money to meet the required sum after which Thanatos explains their plan to rescue Yūji through a raid.

Meanwhile, Chizuru, the now-closed Mihama Academy's principal, receives a call from Thanatos offering her a site for the new Mihama Academy school building which she quickly accepts. JB is seen relaxing while watching television in her quarters when her TV suddenly displays a message from Thanatos saying that "the Mihama Women's Volunteer Corps YK Rescue Campaign is underway" to her confusion. Back in the Ichigaya holding facility, Yūji is tied up lying on a bed and being monitored via surveillance by guards. Heath Oslo is then seen discussing the installation of the two warheads in a metropolitan area with one of his men who explains that one has been planted while a suitable location is still being searched for the other. They then discusses their own plan on retrieving Yūji. The next day, the day of the operation, Yumiko gives a pep talk to the girls reminding them that they were heading to a war zone where there was no guarantee of their lives and the girls eat what may be their last meal.

On the day of their operation, the girls make their final preparations; Makina rents a hotel suite where she prepares her sniping position, Michiru meets up with a member of Yūji's organization and picks up a "toy" that Thanatos requested, Sachi goes to the grocery store and buys ingredients to make non-explosive smoke bombs and Yumiko discusses their plans with Thanatos. Meanwhile, in a military base in Okinawa, Milliela Stanfield, now a pilot, seduces her fellow pilot in a toilet and steals his uniform. By sunset, the operation begins as Yūji is being transferred to Akasaka to await trial. The armored car carrying Yūji is attacked by Oslo's men who kidnap him after killing the soldiers and strap a bomb on his wrist that is set to detonate in six hours or if his vitals weaken. Makina then causes a distraction on the road and takes out their cars' engines with anti-tank bullets. As they unload Yūji, Sachi uses her hand-made smoke bombs to blind them allowing her to knock them out as she is wearing a gas mask to cover her nose and eyes. As backup arrives for Oslo's men, Amane arrives as well and drives them all, along with Makina and Michiru, through the route she was taught and eventually out of the city.

Along a mountainous road surrounded by a forest, they are ambushed by Oslo's men in a helicopter. Just as they are almost shot and killed, Millie arrives on a helicopter she stole from her fellow pilot earlier and takes down Oslo's helicopter. James Okada communicates with the girls and explains that Thanatos' core can be saved. While all this was taking place, JB arrives in the Thanatos System's room and frees Kazuki, the core, from the system with James' help and they make plans to meet up with the girls on Kazuki's "ship" that just arrived. Amane turns on a turbo feature on her car and launches them all to the sea where they land exactly on top of their houseboat, the roof of which had been greatly reinforced in order to accommodate the weight of a falling car. Just then, a submarine emerges from the sea and Kazuki appears on the deck and introduces herself as Thanatos.

Amane is thrilled to see Kazuki again and becomes emotional as the latter reminds the former of the promise they made years ago. Yūji regains consciousness inside a room and reunites with his old platoon leader Justin Mikemeyer who has been promoted to captain. Jimmy's wife, Zoey Graham, a CIA agent, enters the room and reveals that her father, a journalist who once pursued Oslo, was murdered by Yūji when he still worked for Oslo. Zoey then admits her desire to kill Yūji in revenge but he warns her that should he die right now, the bomb Oslo's men attached to him will explode and kill everyone on the ship. However, he declares that he will return and die by her hand after he settles the score with Oslo. Zoey accepts as she does not want Yūji to die before Oslo is killed. On the deck, Kazuki introduces Chizuru Tachibana as the ship's new owner and has it renamed as Mihama Academy. Yūji, having recovered, meets Kazuki on the deck and asks her about her plans. She reveals he inherited an island in Micronesia from Asako. Yūji then slaps Kazuki for worrying him so much for years and she apologizes. Yūji cries on her chest and Kazuki gives him two options: cut off his arm to remove the bomb and take refuge with her on the island for the rest of their lives or settle things with Oslo himself. He decides to go after Oslo and asks Kazuki to locate him. They then share a moment with each other. Yūji then reunites with Millie and comically punches her in the face on reflex having learned that she threw away her promising military career for him. He reveals his plans to face Oslo to the girls and promises to return. Michiru's second personality emerges and kisses Yūji for good luck which angers the other girls, including Millie, who proceed to punish her as Kazuki returns and reveals Oslo's location.

As Yūji makes preparations to leave, JB warns him against fighting Oslo and explains that it was Oslo who gave Asako the bullet wound that ultimately killed her but this only fuels Yūji's desire to fight. He then leaves with Millie on a helicopter. On the ship, Kazuki declares that Oslo will be able to hijack the Thanatos System in a few hours so she decides to get rid of the System which is currently running on auxiliary power from a plant in the Pacific Ocean. Michiru is tasked with cutting the undersea cable that connects the System to its power source while the other girls will search for bombs that might be littered in the area. Yumiko is tasked with searching for possible locations of Oslo's planted nukes and comes up with two places, both of which are directly connected to Oslo. In Akasaka, the top brass of CIRS called in Agnes Garrett, Yūji's former superior in the naval academy, to give information on him. Kazuki contacts them and uses her former position as the Thanatos System's core to order Agnes to send a team to the potential bomb locations. Unfortunately, the CIRS top brass are arguing over whom to send to the areas until JB offers to take charge on-site. Finally, Yūji arrives at Oslo's base, kills the guard on duty, and sneaks in while silently declaring his return.

Yūji invades Oslo's ship and takes out several of the latter's men. Meanwhile, Agnes and JB inform Yumiko that they are working on disarming the bomb Oslo planted earlier. Kazuki and Amane are seen in a dark room where the former is inside a capsule-like chamber where she deactivates the Thanatos System and asks Amane about her desire to associate with Yūji after learning everything about him. On the deck of Oslo's ship, Yūji meets a man who looks just like him but with white hair. The look-alike, who calls himself Du Pont, also refers to himself as Yūji and Kazuki's brother. The two engage in an intense and fast paced fight to the death. Yūji appears to have the advantage at first until Du Pont injects himself with a booster drug and tries to make Yūji do the same but he refuses. With the drug boosting his physical abilities, Du Pont gains the advantage which forces Yūji to take the drug as well. The two fight evenly but Yūji ultimately wins and kills Du Pont. Despite his exhaustion and injuries, he finally arrives in Oslo's office. Oslo welcomes him warmly but after seeing that Yūji has no interest in listening to what he has to say, Oslo prepares to fight and draws a katana that once belonged to Asako. They engage in combat but Yūji, in his current state, can only dodge. Eventually, Oslo disarms and impales Yūji who uses his remaining strength to push Oslo to his desk where Yūji grabs a pen and stabs Oslo in the neck, killing him. Yūji removes the bomb that was strapped to his wrist using Oslo's key and slowly walks away from the ship as it explodes. Just as he gives up all hope of escaping, he sees a vision of Asako and finds an exit just as the bomb detonates and destroys the ship.

Two years later, the girls have settled down on Yūji's island. Makina is seen collecting some eggs from the chickens while Sachi goes fishing on the beach as Amane arrives by plane, having gone to a supermarket on the mainland. Kazuki is supervising Michiru doing homework as everyone arrives, including JB and Chizuru. They reveal that the new Mihama Academy building has been finished and the girls can return to school. Meanwhile, Yūji, who survived and took half a year to recover from his injuries, is seen fishing and talking with Yumiko who reveals that CIRS has been disbanded but a new organization will be created in its place but Yūji has no desire to return. He then questions his survival as he believes that he is not yet meant to die causing Yumiko to tell him to live for everyone's sake, especially hers and everyone later takes a group picture together. As Yumiko narrates and reflects on their experiences, the other characters of the series are shown to have returned to their normal lives and jobs. During the final scene, Kazuki is seen on the beach as Chizuru offers her a drink. Kazuki then takes off her metal arm and takes the drink, much to Chizuru's shock as she had believed the arm was a prosthetic when, in fact, it was actually a toy Kazuki wore because she thought it would be a funny joke.
