Description
The Haruno household is a bustling all-female family of seven across three generations, led by the formidable grandmother Fujima Hagi, a film critic. Her daughters and granddaughters have been shaped by a long history of bad luck with men, resulting in a household where male presence is almost nonexistent. The two youngest members are identical twin sisters, Suzuna and Nazuna, who are complete opposites in temperament. Nazuna is bold, hot-headed, and fiercely protective, while Suzuna is gentle, timid, and deeply traumatized by a childhood incident in which a neighborhood boy threw frogs and snakes at her, leaving her with a severe phobia of males. To shield her sister, Nazuna insisted they attend an all-girls school, and the two lived a quiet, boy-free life.

Everything changes when their grandmother decides they must transfer to a coed high school to face the real world. The twins are thrust into an environment packed with boys, and their fears are immediately tested. On the first day, Suzuna comes face to face with the boy who caused her trauma: Shiki Takamura, a carefree, flirtatious classmate who never meant any harm—back then he had a childish crush and thought the creatures were gifts. Now older, he is eager to make amends. His older brother, Yuki Takamura, is a brilliant medical student who temporarily steps in as the school doctor. Yuki is sharp-tongued, amused by Nazuna’s fiery reactions, and quickly takes an interest in her.

The two families are further connected through their grandparents, who have a long, teasing history. The Takamura grandfather, a retired physician, once harbored a youthful admiration for Hagi Haruno, adding layers of comedy and mild rivalry to the elder generation.

The narrative follows the twins as they each confront their distrust of men in very different ways. Suzuna slowly overcomes her phobia through Shiki’s persistent kindness and genuine remorse, rekindling what was once a childhood bond into a pure, first love. Nazuna clashes and banters with Yuki, whose confident, provocative demeanor both infuriates and intrigues her, leading to a spirited romance. Meanwhile, the older Haruno sisters each have their own romantic subplots—the eldest, Seri, is a cool university assistant professor, and the second sister, Hakobe, is a divorced university student with a practical approach to relationships—providing additional comedic and dramatic layers.

Set against the backdrop of school life and family gatherings, the story balances lighthearted romantic comedy with moments of emotional growth. The twins learn that not all men are to be feared, and the men in turn soften their own rough edges. The grandmother’s authoritative yet loving presence steers the household, and the intertwined histories of the Haruno and Takamura families ensure that no relationship is accidental. The manga also includes a bonus side story, Romantic Ageru, which expands on the world and characters.
