In short: The story centers around Akihisa Yoshii, the "baka" of the title. His academy rigidly divides up the pupil body into classes based on the results of tests.

As things develop, the prodigies are in the A class with reclining seats complete with air conditioning, but Akihisa is in F class, the lowest rung of the school ladder which is furnished only with low. A girl named Mizuki Himeji is actually one of the smartest girls in Akihisa's sophomore year, but she had a fever on test day and was pigeonholed into the F class. Besides Mizuki (who Akihisa secretly adores), the F class also has Yuuji Sakamoto, the class president who has been Akihisa's ally and partner-in-crime since the freshman year.
