In Clone High (St. Kleio Academy), famous people's dupes study their way to bettering their originals' achievements, but the renegade Strikers are having none of it. Kamiya Shiro, supposedly the only non-clone, encounters his doppelgänger in Kai, a Striker. After the Strikers' assault on St. Kleio, Kai is captured and begins to spill all.
Afterschool Charisma 5 queries: What exactly is Shiro's role and does his dad know about the trading in clones Kai reveals?
