It’s an absolute secret-our relationship! When Nanami finally gets a chance to meet her mom’s new husband and his son, the last person she expects to see is one of her classmates, Kyouhei Suzumura. Not only is her new stepbrother cool and completely unapproachable, but even worse-he’s the crazy-hot guy Nanami’s been crushing on for months…! Only time will tell how Nanami’s unexpectedly forbidden romance will play out…

After all this time - you can’t say it first! Despite the almost-kiss incident, the sleeping-on-Nanami-at-lunch incident, and the waking-up-in-the-same-bed incident, Nanami still has no idea if Kyouhei has a thing for her-or not. And it’s driving Nanami crazy! But since they’re alone together for the weekend…this may just be the perfect chance for Nanami to find out how Kyouhei really feels…!

I haven’t been myself since the moment I fell for you…! A Christmas confession leaves Nanami and Kyouhei at…well, Nanami’s not quite sure. After all, Kyouhei kind of admitted that he liked her, and maybe even kissed her, but…then acts like his usual self the next day?! On top of that, someone starts spreading rumors about their relationship as siblings…which means even if they are actually dating, they can’t tell anyone about it…!!

Is it finally time…for the hero to appear? That witch!! After Nanami worked so hard to keep her relationship with Kyouhei on the downlow -- she even agreed to Mana’s ridiculous demands for crying out loud -- and Mana just sent that picture to everyone anyway?! Nanami’s doomed to a life of solitude for the rest of high school…That is, if the hero of the story doesn’t show up to sweep her off her feet. Can Kyouhei become Nanami’s knight in shining armor?

She’s a mean one-Auntie Takako. She shows up at Nanami’s house, says rude things to her, and accuses her of doing stuff with Kyouhei that she hasn’t even done (yet)! And on top of that, Auntie Takako’s decided to stick around and watch every move Nanami makes…Meanwhile, Kyouhei’s getting more and more jealous of her cousin Subaru for no real reason (that Nanami can tell). Which means he’s more likely to do something stupid and reveal their true relationship to Auntie Takako! Just how long can they keep up their sibling act before it all falls apart…?!

Although Nanami managed (somehow) to get through that minefield of a visit with her cousin who may or may not have the hots for Kyouhei and her aunt who most definitely disapproves, Auntie Takako’s words keep reverberating through her head. Meanwhile, Nanami’s sudden aloofness is throwing Kyouhei off guard...Can he overcome the formidable task of puzzling out the source of her distress—and then fixing it?

Survive the cousin visit, check. Listen to Nanami vent about her frustrations, check. Study for exams…a work in progress—but it won’t prevent the pair from having some fun in the sun in Okinawa! That was the plan, at least...until Nanami has a miserable run-in with the student council president, Sakuma, at the hotel. And to add insult to injury, he’s in the same group as Suzumura! Are his derisive words enough to ruin the whole trip for them…?

I was just thinking… …that yukata looks good on you. Summer is here, which means it’s time for Nanami and Kyouhei to get a little R&R! And what better way to spend the break than a family vacay with the ’rents? Days of flirty fun await—until a few offhand comments from their parents cause Nanami to suspect they may be onto them. Can the lovebirds keep their hands to themselves, or will they get caught in the act?!

She was the only one…...I could dote on without needing a reason.Nanami and Kyouhei’s relationship has officially been busted by the fam…! Or so they think—until their parents let slip that they’ve been keeping secrets too! When the dust settles, Nanami is down in the dumps about being left out of the loop. Can Kyouhei lift her spirits and help her get used to the new normal?

Nanami sees a person who looks like Suzumura’s mom, who left him behind seven years ago—and she even has a five-year-old daughter named Koto! Nanami and Andou decide to investigate while keeping it a secret from Suzumura, but he finds out at the worst moment imaginable! Could this be the crisis that breaks up the family!?

Nanami and Suzumura have joined the culture festival committee on a whim, meaning they now have to work with the student council president. But when Suzumura turns out to be the center of attention, Nanami and the prez get hot and bothered! Later, the culture festival itself turns into a day of chaos when both Nanami and Suzumura’s remarried parents and Suzumura’s estranged mom and sister show up!
