For the upcoming long weekend, Mizuto and I will be going on our first trip together—to a hot springs inn! Sure, the trip’s planned and funded by the student council president, Suzuri Kurenai, and there’ll be a total of ten people including us...but this could be my chance to move the needle on our relationship! And I’m not the only one wanting to get closer to my crush. President Kurenai, Aso-senpai, and Akatsuki-san all seem to have something serious up their sleeves... Just what is going to happen on our trip to the Arima Hot Springs?
High school was supposed to be a fresh start—new school, new me. I should be basking in the glory of my new found popularity and placing top of my class, but I can’t. That’s because I have to live with my stupid ex, Mizuto Irido, who is also my little stepbrother now. For the sake of our newlywed parents, we’re pretending to be best friends, but behind the scenes, we hate each other’s guts and would like nothing more than to see the other crash and burn. We once thought we were deeply in love, but that was nothing but a folly of youth—a mistake that neither of us were keen on repeating. He never really understood me, even when we were dating. Nowadays, he still acts like he knows me, but that’s all it is—an act. All he saw— No, all he’s ever seen has been a plain-looking girl who shared a hobby with him. If someone else who fit that description asked him out, what would stop him from saying yes?
Ah, high school. Is there any better place to start fresh after a horrible middle school relationship? Nope! Not unless your ex ends up at the same school as you and is now your stepsibling. What was supposed to be a sanctuary of peace where I could avoid ever seeing her again has become a living nightmare! Everywhere I look, I see her—in my house, in my school, in my class. There's no escape! She even claims that she’s the older sibling. Like hell she is! But I won't lose to her. After all, I'm the older brother in this new family situation. That’s right, we’re family now. No matter how much we may have thought we loved each other before, we saw one another’s true colors and realized we weren’t meant for each other. That’s why even though we may keep up a buddy-buddy sibling act for the sake of our parents, things will never go back to the way they used to be.
Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day approaches, and this time around, I, Mizuto Irido, am once again in a relationship. Don’t get me wrong—I’m happy to be living with my girlfriend, but the situation isn’t without its drawbacks. There are hurdles we’ve yet to overcome and conversations that need to be had. Most importantly, are we ready to take things to the next level? I’m not so sure.
Yo. I’m Kogure Kawanami, and my life’s a living hell ’cause I live next door to my psycho ex. She may look small and innocent, but she’s got more than a few screws loose. Right now, she’s totally obsessed with my friend’s stepsister, Yume Irido. I thought she wanted to become Yume’s sister-in-law, but now she’s tryin’ to hook up some busty chick with Irido! Doesn’t matter, ’cause it’s not gonna work anyway! The Irido siblings have a strong, unbreakable bond. Trust me—my shipping radar never fails. They won’t end up like us. True love will prevail!
