Plot and characters

The main protagonist is Shiki Haruomi (志木 春臣, Haruomi Shiki, voiced by Tanaka Momotarō), a handsome boy who is considerably strong, due to his fishing experience on the island. He is generally calm and collected. Shiki moves into a relative's house after a

volcanic eruption occurs on his home island, and in the relative's house, there are three beautiful sisters who happen to be his childhood friends,[3] one of them being Akina Orifushi (織節 秋奈, Orifushi Akina, voiced by Miyabi Arisugawa).[4]
Akina is the second eldest of the sisters, and out of the three, is the most loving towards Shiki. She is popular at school, being a perfectionist and honor student. Whilst Akina is usually sweet and kind, she does have a jealous side. Though not being the eldest, Akina excels at studies, sports, and housework.

The eldest sister is Natsumi Orifushi (織節 夏実, Orifushi Natsumi, voiced by Kotone Hirokawa),

fortune telling, she loves to tell other people's fortune, as well as her own. She likes to call Shiki "Haru-chan", due to her thinking it's more friendly. The youngest sister is Mafuyu Orifushi (織節 真冬, Orifushi Mafuyu, voiced by Kana Nojima),[4]
who is two grades below Shiki. Mafuyu has a quiet, and stoic personality, and because of this, her mood can be hard to read. Despite this, Mafuyu is sexually curious, and likes to read erotic novels. Shiki accidentally sees her masturbating a few times.

Shiki also becomes enrolled at Akina's school, where he gets acquainted with three other characters, among them being his class president Midori Byakudan (白檀 翠, Byakudan Midori, voiced by Ayane Mikoto).
