And with the pedigree of their wealthy father behind them, how could they not be the talk of the town?”
The synopsis continues, “Eldest son Arata has spent his life being tossed around by the whims of his colorful sisters, yet a little teasing won’t stop him from valuing his family over anything and anyone else. But when his youngest sister turns fifteen, their father reveals a long-hidden secret of the Shiunji “siblings” and knocks Arata’s world off its axis…”
Reiji released the manga in Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine in 2022 with two complete volumes. Furthermore, the third volume is releasing on February 16, 2024.
