While preparing for the entrance exam to Keio University, one of Japan"s top three institutions, student Touma Inaba is startled when a charming young woman named Urara Kasuga knocks on his hotel room door. He soon discovers that she is actually a distant cousin he scarcely recalls from childhood. Urara, who has developed feelings for him that go beyond familial affection, invites Touma to stay with her since he has nowhere else to lodge. Prior to the exam, Touma encounters Meiko Yotsuba, an elegant and poised woman also vying for admission to Keio. Though Meiko is accepted, Touma fails because a cold Urara had caught earlier weakened him. To gain Meiko"s admiration, he lies about being a Keio student. He finds himself entangled in a love triangle between Urara and Meiko, trying to maintain the illusion of being a Keio candidate while remaining supportive of Urara.
