|
Wataru, the top student at his elite school, is in a depressive mood after failing to pass the entrance exam to a prestigious high school because of a computer glitch. The confident boy hadn’t bothered to apply to any other schools, to the regret of his friend Akio and to the amusement of his rival Minai (who had always been second to Wataru). “It can’t be true!” wails Wataru... and hardly for the last time. Unexpectedly and without reasonable explanation he then is evicted from his mansion and whisked off to a boarding school on Promised Island. On the boat he meets Yamada, a talkative self-important boy also new to the school, and Mami, a gruff girl who Wataru doesn’t realize is assigned to spy on him. Debarking disastrously, Wataru nearly drowns but is rescued by a friendly girl named Karen. Once on the island, he seeks out a clothing store where he assists, and is assisted in shopping by, the glamorous and fashionable Sakuya. Clumsy cheerleader Kaho lifts his gloom and bewilderment, as does little girl Hinako, but Wataru suffers successive turns of fortune in seeking room and board. At the end, he is assigned to live at a manor house with Karen, Sakuya, Kaho, and Hinako, all of whom claim to be his younger sisters! | |||

Wataru thinks this must all be a dream, because “it can’t be true!” He is “Big Brother” to Karen, “Dear Brother” to Sakuya, “Brother” to young Kaho, and “Bro Bro” to younger Hinako. Despite their affection and charm he still investigates, vainly, for any way off the island and out of his surreal dream. Unexplained and spooky sounds and events around the house lead Wataru to meet his eight other sisters. All twelve are gathered together when Mami, the girl who is still tailing him, is spotted; and she lies and says she also is a sister of “Bud”, making Wataru think he has 13 younger sisters! | |||

Everywhere he goes at least one of his sisters follows him wanting attention, and Wataru starts to feel overloaded. So he tries to leave the island but is thwarted by events as well as his own failure to learn to swim. Karen comes and convinces him to stay, and they go back to their house together. Meanwhile, Wataru's occultist sister, Chikage, is looking into her crystal ball; she says quietly to herself that there is danger in store for “Brother Darling.” | |||
