Kondou Yukio is a normal high-school student, who performs average in academics and sports, with few but good friends. During cooking class, he ends up in the same group as Handa and his "followers," who have scary rumors. Kondou ends up as part of the "handa-otaku," as he likes to refer it.

For inspiration, think of that rational character who dampens your hopes and dreams with logic. He keeps the group of otaku down to earth and thinking rationally, sometimes to the ire of his friends.
