Plot
The story explains the day-to-day of a college freshman just starting a new life in the School of Literature Department of Tama University. While he grew up with his older sister, he left home to live on his own when she got married with two daughters from the husband's previous marriage. The reason for moving out to live on his own was to distant himself from her sister's family. Approximately 3 years later, her sister and her husband suddenly went missing on an aeroplane flight. His life turned upside down when he was then tasked with the responsibility of looking after the girls. He now has to live with three daughters of his sister. Two of the three are from a previous marriage and are hence not blood related. The girls are namely a tsundere (14 years), a little demon (10 years) and a small girl (3 years) all cramped in a six tatami mat size room.
