Summary:
The story explains the day-to-day of a college freshman just starting a new life in the School of Literature Department of Tama University. While he grew up with his sister, he left and lived by himself when she got married with a man who had two daughters from previous marriages. He tried to distance himself from that family and so he moved out to live on his own. About 3 years later he was asked by his sister to visit and babysit the girls which suddenly turned his life upside down when the girls' parents went missing. He now has to live with the three daughters of his sister; with which two (from a previous marriage) are not related by blood: a tsundere (14 years), a little demon (10 years) and a small girl (3 years). In a six tatami mat size room.
Maybe I came into this series with my expectations set a little too high. After reading the synopsis I guess I was hoping for something along the lines of Usagi Drop which I enjoyed very much... what I got was, not that.
Don't get me wrong, this was a good series in its own right. The animation is top-notch, the music is great - I even downloaded the ED by Yui Horie. It definitely has it's funny moments...
But the story itself was just too shallow. Yes, it's moe... Kawaii... all that. But the raw emotion of losing your parents, having to take in kids barely related to you, that's what was missing. And to be honest, considering the ages of the girls involved, some of the situations and sexual innuendo had me feeling a bit uncomfortable at times. I wasn't sure if I should be laughing or cringing.
I think if there's a second season I will watch it just to see if there's a continuation of some of the story threads that didn't feel wrapped up but this was not a must watch series for me.
