At Saika Academy the Mikadono sisters—Miwa, Niko and Kazuki—hold the highest honor as its Three Royals, celebrated for their extraordinary talents in shogi, karate and theatre. Yet the intensity of their pursuits has pushed them apart so far that they live together as strangers. Yuu Ayase, son of the late Subaru Ayase—a legendary actress who once walked Saika"s halls—arrives. Unlike his mother, Yuu has no remarkable gift, a fact that unsettles those who remembered her. Still he enrolls at the same school, quietly vowing to honor her final wish: to build a true and happy family. Coincidentally the Mikadono patriarch is an old friend and patron of Subaru, so he offers Yuu a place to stay and a fresh start. Thrust into the lives of three distant sisters who treat him with distance, Yuu may lack genius, but his awkward sincerity could be exactly what they need to begin anew.
