17-year-old Yuki Mizuho
(the brunette with white headband) is a top
tennis player at school and very pretty, but she
doesn't have a boyfriend.... and she doesn't
want one right now, either! This makes her all
the more shocked to find out that a boy her age
named Nanase Touru will be staying with her
family.
|
|
Her mother
and younger brother Tetsuya think it's a wonderful idea,
but Mizuho is extremely annoyed.... of course, having him
walk in with Tetsuya when she was getting ready to take a
shower (undressed down to her underwear), could have
something to do with this, too.

|
News of
their living together under the same roof
spreads like wildfire through the school the
next day - by the time they arrive, everyone
already knows that they're an "item"! Touru goes
onto the PA system and corrects everyone's
misimpressions.
|
This comes
as a tremendous relief to at least two girls who have
crushes on him: Minamizato Ai (lighter-haired brunette),
a freshmen one year younger than Touru, and Mizuho's best
friend Kamiyama Miko (green-haired girl with braids).
Miko lives and works in a shrine with her father. She
confesses her feelings for Touru to Mizuho at lunch that
day. Miko is a very sweet and naive girl whose father is
extremely protective of her.
|
Ai comes
to the coffee shop where Touru works after
school. However, she's too timid to speak to
him, until Miyuki (green-haired girl with
ponytail) offers her some much-needed
encouragement. Ai tells him that she believes
what he said, even if others don't... then, she
practically runs out of the room without
|
|
introducing
herself! Miko asks Mizuho to try to set her up with
Touru; she wants to bring him lunch and try to get to
know him a bit better. Miko is an excellent cook - eating
the lunch she makes is a joy for Touru, and he tells her
that she'll make someone a good bride one day. She
practically has a heart attack because she gets so
excited! Mizuho overhears them, and is careful to walk
away....
