Cute yuri story with mystery elements
The story takes place at a prestigious all girls school. They all live in the dormitories there. There is a tradition at the school where a girl will give their spare key to someone to become a "couple" (番い). The tradition has basically become a way to confess their romantic feelings to each other.
Ch1 spoilers/summary:
At the school there are 5 girls that are basically the idols of the school, everyone fawns over them. They send out invitations to girls for their weekly tea party they hold and during the party they always manage to bring up the other girl's key. The girl that gets invited almost always ends up confessing, offering their key to one of the 5 but every time they get rejected. There are rumors going around wondering what the true purpose of the tea parties are. Among the 7 mysteries of the school, there is room 101. A room that has never had an owner. Our protagonist Emi receives a letter one day containing the key to room 101 and suddenly the 5 girls that everyone fawns over starts to take an interest in Emi, trying to become her pair.As far as the difficulty goes, this one kind of fluctuates throughout. Some parts are a very easy read and other parts took a lot longer to understand what was going on. There was some references to things I didn't understand and had to look up. The way they omit stuff in speech can make it hard to follow along at times too but the overall plot is easy enough to understand. There's very little furigana in the story.
