Citrus plot recap, spoiler-light
Fashionable city girl Yuzu Aihara expects her life to revolve around shopping and finding romance after her mother remarries. However, her expectations are completely upended when she transfers to Aihara Academy, a strict and conservative all-girls institution. Instead of making friends easily, Yuzu immediately clashes with Mei Aihara, the stunning yet rigidly cold student council president who confiscates her phone on the very first day.
The shock deepens when Yuzu returns home only to discover that Mei is actually her newly acquired stepsister, forcing the two reluctant girls to share a bedroom. What follows is a tense and tumultuous coexistence as Yuzu tries to navigate this strange domestic arrangement. As they are forced to spend time together, the intense hostility slowly begins to fracture.
Yuzu starts learning more about Mei's hidden pain and the heavy burdens she carries, which complicates her emotions further. Rather than remaining mere adversaries, the two step into uncharted territory as Yuzu realizes her growing confusion is turning into genuine romantic affection for her stepsister.
