Gakuen HeavenIto Keita receives a letter of admissions from Bell Liberty Academy, a prestigious all-boy's school that only accepts the cream of the crop. Though he doubts his ability to succeed at such a school because 1) he is a transfer student coming in the middle of the year, and 2) he has no special ability that he can speak of, he accepts the admission. Keita is picked up by Niwa, the president of the student council, and from then on, he is warmly welcomed by everyone to BL Academy.
Keita's first actual friend is Endo Kazuki, who immediately takes Keita under his wing and takes care of him to the extent that Keita laughingly dubs him "grandmother." The two of them become a steadfast pair, but in the days that Kazuki is not around, Keita has no trouble finding other company among the other students.
Occasionally Keita has flashbacks to his childhood, where he playing with a slightly older boy whom he calls "Kazu-nii." He can't remember much except that he and "Kazu-nii" were close at one point, but these memories seem irrelevant to his current life, so Keita dimisses them.
Meanwhile, Kazuki is involved in a power struggle with the Vice Chairman of the board. The Vice Chairman is distinctly annoyed that the former chairman chose to leave his position to Kazuki, and views Kazuki as a young and incompetent despot incapable of running BL Academy, much less Shinsisuke Corporation, the business group that owns BL Academy and many scientific research and development companies. Indeed, Kazuki rejects many of the Vice Chairman's proposals and seemingly "abuses" his power by admitting a student of no particular skill-- in this case, Ito Keita-- to BL Academy. Keita unwittingly becomes involved in the power struggle between the Chairman and Vice Chairman. Kazuki stakes his position on the outcome of the school's annual "MVP Battle--" that is, if he and Keita do not manage to win the competition, he will resign his position as Chairman. During the MVP Battle, the Vice Chairman hires hitmen to try and take out Keita, but Keita escapes death each time. In the end, Keita and Kazuki win, and Kazuki gets to keep his position as the Chairman of the board.
Eventually the Vice Chairman's actions are outed and he is fired. Kazuki reveals himself as the Chairman to Keita, and Keita begins to remember exactly who Kazuki is. Many years ago, when he was a child, Keita was sent to live with his grandmother in the countryside. That summer, he made friends with one of his next-door neighbors, "Kazu-nii," and played with him every day. They grew very close and made a vow to someday attend the same school in the future. Though Keita forgot a good portion of his childhood, Kazuki always remembered; and when he was made Chairman, he invited Keita to BL Academy, thus fulfilling his promise.
