Synopsis:

Sixteen-year-old Kobeni Yonomori's life takes an unexpected turn when she learns of a prearranged engagement and the arrival of Hakuya Mitsumine and his sister Mashiro. Their move from rural life to the Yonomori household is part of a long-standing agreement made by Kobeni’s grandfather, intended to foster familial bonds. The series explores Kobeni's attempts to navigate this sudden shift in her personal life and build a relationship with Hakuya amidst unfamiliar circumstances. As hidden aspects of the siblings' past emerge, Kobeni discovers that the dynamics within her family are far more intricate than she initially perceived. The anime delicately blends everyday challenges with underlying mysteries, examining themes of obligation, identity, and the complexities of familial connection in a subtly unfolding narrative.
