The premise: Akiko is thrilled to be reuniting with Akito, the handsome older brother she hasn’t seen in years! In fact, she might be a little too excited.

Along the way, this pint-sized cutie has a big brother complex, and she’s not interested in sharing his attention. Unfortunately for little sister, she and Akito won’t be living alone: three gorgeous girls from the learner council will be along for the ride!
