The first in a series of four, "Luck is in the Clover Patch" focuses on a romance between 19-year old Imishima Yukari and 19-year old Hashimoto Toshi. Basic premise for ACE!: You’re about to take the leap into the world of Imishima Yukari, a 19 year old college student attending the enormous, elite K University! At this crazy academy, they've got one weird way of ranking the students: Everyone admitted is scaled by the face cards of a card deck! If you are special enough or you seem to have something others don’t, you are placed into one of four categories: Kings, Queens, Jacks, or Aces, and each of the groups have a title they can never live down. Basic premise for "Luck is in the Clover Patch": Yukari, after being admitted to K University as the Jack of Spades (or the Jack of Mechanics), breaks one huge, unspoken rule of being a Jack, and that is ‘never do ANYTHING to reveal your ranking.’ She ends up being chased by a large, rowdy group of men, and though her big mouth gets her into even more trouble than she is already in, a mysterious stranger comes to her aid. Her quiet college life is upended when it is revealed that her savior, a male by the name of Hashimoto Toshi, is actually the Ace of Clubs! What’s more, he says he wants to go out with her?! Why?!
