This is the show for people who want their comfort anime to actually be comforting. Ito gets a new last name, a new house, and four instant little brothers before she's even unpacked, and the show never pretends that's not a lot to process. There's no melodrama engine here, no forced conflict, just Ito quietly trying to figure out where she fits at the dinner table while Gen stonewalls her with that older-brother frost that cracks for half a second and then pretends it didn't. Those cracks are the whole appeal. You watch for the moment his face does something soft before he catches himself and goes back to aloof. Low spectacle isn't a weakness here, it's the point, this is a show about learning to call a stranger's house home one small kindness at a time.0

During spring break at the end of her first year of high school, Ito Hazui learns that her mother is remarrying, and she moves in with her new family as Ito Narita. When she arrives at the new house, she is shocked to find she now has four younger stepbrothers. Ito throws herself into getting along with everyone, but the eldest brother, Gen, is cold and hard to read. Still, behind his aloof front, flashes of kindness show through now and then. The result is a comedic slice-of-life romance about a blended family learning to live under one roof.
