Plot

High school student Sōta Nishino (Ryusei Yokohama) visits his friend Yukihiro Nanase's (Tsuyoshi Furukawa) house and meets his younger sister Mai Nanase (Risaki Matsukaze), a somewhat naive high school student. They start a relationship after Mai overheard Nishino telling her brother "Your sister is cute." However, their relationship is threatened when Nishino's cousin, Ituski Kaga (Koudai Matsuoka), also falls in love with Mai.[1][3]

Cast
gollark: I'm doing four (Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science) and that's kind of stretching it as I will be quite lacking in free periods compared to those doing three and some of the complementary studies options.
gollark: So how are you meant to do *five*? Is there even time for that?
gollark: My school barely lets you do *four*.
gollark: ... *five* A-levels?
gollark: I got a 6 in the møcks, which would be passing in the real exams.
