A hard-earned get-away calls Kaoru and his flock to a resort in the mountains, where Mayu just happens to be nearby at her family’s vacation home. A game much like truth or dare gets interesting—especially when Aoi is asked some personal questions.

Kaoru’s got to pull an all-nighter to finish a big report, or else he’ll be writing more all summer long. Graduate studies are demanding, but so are four admiring girls all trying to ease his stress.

Mayu audaciously asks Kaoru on a date in front of the entire household. Since his engagement to Aoi is still a secret, he fails to decline. Stunningly dressed but ill-prepared, Mayu reveals her one passion to Kaoru in response to his sensitive request.

Mysterious noises spook the mansion’s residents. Taeko, the authority on ghostly matters, leads the attempted exorcism through a dusty attic. Mayu finds it prudent to sneak into Kaoru’s bed for a cuddle, resulting in a heap of hilarious frights.

The game is on when Miyabi volunteers to teach Chika how to play tennis. Kaoru and the rest of the girls come along for some friendly matches. Kaoru tries his best to focus in between glances at Aoi’s impressive form in her endearing tennis attire.

Chika’s high school friends Chizuru and Natsuki get the impression that Kaoru’s her live-in boyfriend—she relishes the thought and replies to inquiries vaguely. The girls’ insist on satisfaction, resulting in a raucous and embarrassing house visit!

It’s been two eventful years since that fateful day Aoi and Kaoru were reunited. He takes a break from his graduate classes, and the clandestine lovebirds celebrate their anniversary filled with memories and fantasies of the future.

Aoi and Miyabi take a trip to a memorial service and Taeko is required for a photo shoot. How will a stormy night alone result for Tina and Kaoru?

Tina brings home a pet ferret and the house is soon full of excitement. Miyabi immediately disapproves of the troublesome pet though she may not be completely incapable of compassion.

Aoi is useful everywhere she goes. She saves the day for the photo club at a hot springs vacation. An improbable challenge for Taeko sends her off searching for spirits.

Taeko comes to the Sakuraba house looking for a job as housekeeper. She serves to be extremely clumsy much to Miyabi’s chagrin. Tina, Kaoru and Aoi team up to help Taeko keep her job.

Old photo club buddy Tina has returned from adventures abroad, and she shares a special souvenir with a side of mischief. She’s also in the market for a place to live, and suspiciously makes it home with Kaoru.

Aoi confronts her mother, who personally appears to claim her and is impressed by her commitment. Aoi and Kaoru are sent to live at the Sakuraba summer home, but under Miyabi’s thumb and must keep their union a secret!

Aoi’s guardian, Miyabi, unexpectedly arrives at Kaoru’s apartment to take Aoi home. Kaoru’s unfortunate past and why he can’t return to the Hanabishi is revealed. Aoi escapes again, renounces her family, and proposes to Kaoru.

Fearful yet resolute, Kaoru and Aoi desperately confront her headstrong father to convince him to accept Kaoru as his future son-in-law. Should they fail, Aoi will be forced to marry someone else and lose her true love forever.

Miyabi takes Kaoru to Aoi, leaving them alone at a nostalgic spot from their childhood. Kaoru can’t help his brain, but Aoi has serious matters to explain. Her father’s mind must be changed or Kaoru may never see her again!

Kaoru takes Aoi on a special trip—to visit his mother’s grave. Upon their return, and with no explanation, a solemn Miyabi takes Aoi home for a visit. Premonitions trouble Kaoru.

A fever leaves Aoi bedridden, and the house nearly falls to shambles when her friends split household duties—how did one girl do it all so well?

When the photo club’s cosplay café idea goes south during a school festival, everyone helps Aoi run a Japanese tea shop. During the hustle and bustle of work Aoi and Kaoru yearn for a little private time.

After Aoi confesses her lifelong dream, Kaoru still can’t bring himself to resume his role as the Hanabishi heir. Despite Kaoru’s reluctance, Aoi insists on serving Kaoru and hints of romance fill the air.
