Arata is a young man very committed to his family, and along with his brother and five sisters, they are proud to be recognized in the community.
The Shiunji family seems to be the perfect model of a modern family. Everyone works hard, strives, and is generally admired.
And now that everyone is growing up, Arata is beginning to take on more importance as the son who will bear the family’s future, and his father, Kaname, doesn’t hesitate to remind him of this.
And this week will be no exception, as Kotono, the youngest of the sisters, turns 15, and it’s time to celebrate.
However, before doing so, Kaname has an announcement that will immediately change everyone’s lives.
Without hesitation, the father informs his children that, keeping his promise to his wife, he has decided to confess that none of them are his biological children; all are adopted.
The news surprises everyone, from the university student Banri to the intellectual Seiha. Minami and her brother Shion seem less affected, but Ouka simply feels out of place.
Arata tries to hide his surprise —after all, it doesn’t change his duties at all— but he’s somewhat concerned by Kotono’s words, having innocently confessed her affection for him in the past.
Between siblings, it may be natural… but in a way, everything has changed in the Shiunji family.
