Plot

Yūta Segawa is a university freshman who was looked after by his older sister, Yuri, but decided to live alone when Yuri got married. One day, Yūta is asked by Yuri and her husband to babysit their children, Sora, Miu and Hina Takanashi, whilst they go on a trip. However, during this time, the plane Yuri and her husband are riding crashes and they are both reported missing. In order to prevent the girls from being separated from each other, Yūta takes it upon himself to look after the girls in his small dormitory apartment. Thus begins Yūta's life of sharing his everyday life with three other girls.

Characters

Main characters

Yuuta Segawa (瀬川 祐太, Segawa Yūta)[1]
Voiced by: Wataru Hatano
The main character, a college freshman just starting a new life in the School of Literature at Tama University. His parents passed away when he was young. As such, he was raised by his sister, Yuri. He was angry with his sister's decision to marry a man who has two daughters from previous marriages. When Yuri and her husband go missing, their three daughters had no one to turn to. Yūta makes a decision to take them in and becomes their guardian. He is surprisingly reliable. Even the youngest daughter of the three, Hina, quickly got close to him. He has feelings for Raika but couldn't find any chance to express his feelings to her, in the last episode of the anime adaption he proposes to her (which she accepts) just to symbolically act as Hina's mother for one day (while he act as "father") at Hina's nursery parents day.
Sora Takanashi (小鳥遊 空, Takanashi Sora)
Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka
The eldest of the three sisters. She is 14 years old, second-year student in middle school, and has a tsundere personality. She normally refers to Yūta as "older brother (Onii-chan)" and holds a longtime crush on him but he is oblivious to her feeling and thought she is just a shy and short tempered girl. She also gets easily jealous when he is with Raika. She has fairly good grades in school but is not adept at cooking. She is jealous of Raika's body like a fashion model, her huge bust and also her close bond with Yūta. Her style is highly reminiscent of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Miu Takanashi (小鳥遊 美羽, Takanashi Miu)
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura
The second eldest of the three sisters; she is 10 years old, fifth grader. She has blonde hair as her biological mother has a Russian lineage. She normally refers to Yūta as "uncle (Oji-san)". She has a preference for guys who are older than her and manly. It is implied that she may have a slight crush on Yūta, as she is particularly curious about his romance life. She started develop feelings for Yuuta at the end of volume 4 of the light novel. Her biological Russian mother also makes an appearance in volume 4, but Miu decided to stay with Yuuta instead.
Hina Takanashi (小鳥遊 ひな, Takanashi Hina)
Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi
The youngest of the three sisters, Hina Takanashi is 3 years old and attends day care. She is the biological daughter of Yuri and thus the only one of the three girls who is directly related by blood to Yūta. She is very friendly and unafraid of strangers. She sometimes mispronounces words, often leaving out certain consonants. She normally addresses Yūta as "uncle (Oji-san)", but has trouble with the "j" and "s" sound so it comes out as "Oi-tan" (little uncle). She is a fan of the heroine anime, Luna Luna Seven.

Street Observation Research Society

Raika Oda (織田 莱香, Oda Raika)
Voiced by: Yui Horie
A second year student of Tama University School of Literature. A very good cook in Japanese cuisine. She is the only female member in the Street Observation Research Society. Everytime Sako has perverted thoughts or is crude, she beats him with a fan. Despite being very attractive, she does not reveal her emotions easily and dislikes talking with anyone except for Yūta, hinting she has feelings for him. She especially loves cute things, as upon encountering one, she starts making strange squeaks and changes into a different person. This also applies to Yūta's nieces including Sora, who is awkward of getting on good terms with her due to her jealousy on Yūta.
Kouichi Nimura (仁村 浩一, Nimura Kōichi)
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono
University freshman of Tama University School of Literature. He is a good friend of Yūta and a womanizer.
He insists that his house is only for taking girls in. As a result, he almost never stays at his own home and instead spends time frequently at Yūta's apartment, or at one of his affairs' places. He is however a very caring friend and will help out with chores on his own initiative. He also helps Yūta keep Sako away from his nieces. He has a soft spot for Miu.
Shuntarou Sako (佐古 俊太郎, Sako Shuntarō)
Voiced by: Junji Majima
A third year student of the Tama University School of Literature. He is the President of the Street Observation Research Society. Shuntarou has been a third year in the university ever since Raika enrolled. He is a lolicon and wears thick glasses. He once told Raika that "Love is justice. Love is the strongest." to justify his lolicon fetishes to which Raika later agrees, despite she usually beats him on with a harisen when he goes overboard. He has taken a certain interest in Yūta's nieces, excluding Sora, who he claims she is too old for him despite she is only 14, and usually calls her "Oba-chan" (old lady).
