The premise, in the publisher's words

Main character Wakaba is finally getting his driver's license, so he can go on a date with his girlfriend Clutch. He picked the cheapest driving school he could find, but the brochure is a bit odd: It says that he won't be able to go home for a while. They even send someone from their staff to fetch him, a person with a weird laugh and a tail! So Wakaba says his goodbyes to his girlfriend and leaves for the driving school.
