Synopsis:

The series centers on the complex relationship between Kirino Kousaka, a model concealing a hidden passion for adult-oriented gaming, and her pragmatic best friend Ayase Aragaki. Kirino's carefully constructed facade begins to unravel when her brother, Kyousuke, discovers her secret hobby. To maintain her image, she draws him into a world of eroge and anime, introducing him to a diverse cast of characters including the enigmatic Ruri Gokou and the devoted Saori Makishima.

As Kyousuke navigates this new reality, he finds himself increasingly entangled in Kirino's concealed life. The narrative explores themes of identity, deception, and the blurred lines between public perception and private desires. It presents a nuanced look at familial bonds tested by unexpected revelations and the evolving dynamics within a close-knit group navigating unconventional interests. The atmosphere blends slice-of-life elements with understated humor as Kyousuke grapples with his sister's secret while forging his own path.
