Description
Yūta Segawa, an 18-year-old literature freshman at Tama University, was orphaned young. Raised solely by his older sister Yuri after relatives tried to separate them, this experience defined his view of family. He initially disapproved of Yuri's marriage to Shingo Takanashi, a man with two daughters from prior marriages, prompting Yūta to move out and live independently for five years before starting university.
His life shifts dramatically when Yuri and Shingo vanish during a trip, presumed dead after a plane crash. Discovering relatives plan to separate Shingo's three daughters—Sora (14), Miu (10), and Hina (3, his only blood relative among them)—Yūta intervenes. He becomes their guardian to keep them together, moving them into his cramped one-room apartment despite limited space and resources.
Adjusting to sudden parenthood brings significant challenges. Yūta juggles university studies with part-time jobs for financial support, manages household duties, and navigates accidental intrusions on the girls' privacy due to tight living quarters. Initial inexperience causes comedic mishaps, but his innate reliability and dedication earn the girls' trust, especially Hina, who grows deeply attached. He demonstrates fierce protectiveness, shielding the girls from potential threats like the lolicon tendencies of his friend Shuntarō Sako.
His relationships evolve: he harbors unconfessed romantic feelings for Raika Oda, a fellow student in his Street Observation Research Society club, hindered by his new responsibilities. Raika supports him, bonding with the girls and teaching Sora cooking. Concurrently, Sora develops romantic feelings for him, rooted in their first meeting years prior, which he initially overlooks due to their age difference and his guardian role.
Over time, Yūta's growth as a guardian convinces skeptical relatives, particularly his aunt Yoshiko Sahara, of his capability. The Takanashi family acknowledges his commitment, granting him shared ownership of Yuri's Ikebukuro house, allowing the move from the cramped apartment. His dedication solidifies the family unit, with Miu choosing to stay despite opportunities to leave.
Later, Yūta and Sora marry after she turns 18, formalizing their relationship. They have a child, cementing Yūta's role as a father figure to his nieces and his own family. He secures stable employment, likely in an office role, and continues to treat Hina as his daughter.
