There's a girl who's cross dressing as a guy to keep an eye on Shougo. It's a gag I believe because the girls tries to protect him from "him" and getting into that relationship.

Shohgo starts off in a room, isolated, after the funerals of his father. Then, he hears someone at the window, the voice of a girl. He asks who's there, and the girl answers that it's his little sister. Shohgo replies saying that he's an only child. He can't see the girl, since the windows were too high. Unimportant detail is that she says that shewants to marry him. Then, he gets invited by the secretary(someone please tell me her name) and goes meet his mother. His mother tells him that his father who just passed away, the head of the Mikadono company, wants Shohgo to become the next head. Shohgo accepts, but his father gave him a condition; find a girl he loves and make her his mate, which means finding a girl to marry. He accepts and her mother says that he'll transfer to a certain school where his father once attended and filled with rich young ladies/ojou-samas (which I forgot the name/too lazy to search it) in order to find a girl. Then, Shohgo asks his mother if he has a little sister, and his mother responded "Something like this can't possibly exist". She looked a bit angry while saying that. Then, the secretary asks Shohgo where did he hear that story, and says that there's a rumor that Shohgo's father actually as an illegitimate child. BTW, an important detail for Volume 4, it was snowing at that time.

-End of the prologue-

Chapter 1: The Birthday cake from my little sister

Spoiler for Ch1:

It has already been more than one year since Shohgo's father passed away. It's now April, and Shohgo is in an unknown place. As he was wandering in the street to search a place, with a piece of paper in his hands to help him, he sees a cake shop called “Marie Choco” or something like that and remembers a promise with his father who passed away, which consists of buying a birthday cake and celebrating together. He also heard his father say “I really want to celebrate that kid's birthday again”, and remembers it well. He thinks about WTH is that kid and spaces out. Then, the cake shop's door opened and a girl barged in Shohgo, who was in front of the shop's door. Apologies and stuffs. Then, Shohgo asks the girl if she was going to the school that he's about to go, and the girl says yes. Shohgo says he's lost. Then, the girl notices that he's the transfer student, Mikadono Shohgo. Girl tells Shohgo that her name is Tsuruma Konoe (or Konoe Tsuruma, whatever you like).

*Skips the pointless chatter which you can read in the manga. Important detail is that the Konoe says that she feels as if she met him before and jokingly says that it's a fateful/destiny encounter.*

They go to school, and split up there. Then, Shohgo goes with his new homeroom loli-teacher, who tells him about a few things and says that she will expel him if he makes one of her cute students cry. They arrive to the classroom, presents himself, but notices that a petite twintails girl didn't even look at him during the presentation, and was simply looking through the window. He sits beside Konoe, and has the girl-who-ignored-him-with-twintails sitting in front of him. Konoe says that her name is Kannagi Miyabi (or Miyabi Kannagi, whatever you want). He greets Miyabi, but he doens't get a reply from her.

*Skips pointless chatter between Konoe and Shohgo while they are taking out the thrash with Konoe teasing Shohgo. BTW, Konoe is the class president.*

While the two were talking with each other, Shohgo asks Konoe to call him by his first name (Konoe was calling him Mikadono-san), since he's not comfortable with his last name, Mikdanono, since he doesn't want to make people to constantly remember that he'll succeed to the Mikadono group. Konoe accepts, repeated his first name while blushing, and then asks Shohgo to do the same for her, to call her “Konoe” instead of “Tsuruma”. Between the two demands, Shohgo somehow found himself pressing Konoe against the wall. Then, Konoe notices Shohgo's scar and talks about it with him. Slowly (and somehow), their faces ended up closing the distance between them, and as Konoe's lips were closing up on Shohgo's, Shohgo gets an empty can on the head. Present from Miyabi. Then, as Miyabi was angry at Shohgo, Konoe gets called up for s student council meeting. After, Miyabi calls Shohgo directly by his first name (saying that it was because she heard the conversation while she was sleeping on a tree) and asks him if he's a lady-killer, as he was to kiss Konoe. He says that it was because of his scar, and shows it to Miyabi. However, the latter, instead of becoming surprised, showed a serious and calm look. Then, she asks him to call her by her first name (Miyabi) since he's done the same for Konoe. He accepts, and Miyabi asks afterwards if he could kiss her (again stating that he was going to do the same with Konoe). Even though she was insistant on it, Shohgo refuses, and Miyabi runs away, angry.

At home, Shohgo's imagination runs wild on the two girls, and shakes off the thoughts. Then, he gets a delivery which consists of a cake with 17 candles (it was Shohgo's birthday, BTW) from the cake shop mentioned above, a doll/soldier/whatever-similar (he then remembers that it was the one he loved to play with when he was little) and also a photo (!?). There was a little boy and a little girl on it, and the girl was showing her back to the camera and was near the boy (who looked a lot like Shohgo), as if she was about to kiss him.

He then gets a modified-voice telephone call. It was his “little sister” on the other side of the phone, and that girl says that she was the one kissing Shohgo on the photo. She also says that she's attending the same school as Shohgo. Shohgo asks her who is she, and in which class, but the girl simply answers that she misses him dearly and cuts the lie.

Then, the scene switches to the wild imagination of Konoe. Manga tells that pretty well.

-End of chapter 1-

I'll put less details in the following chapters, since an hour on 1/4 of a volume for summaries is too much. I'll probably keep the most important parts for every chapter, except the final one.

BTW, each volume focuses on specific characters. Here's the list:

Spoiler for :

V1: Miyabi, Tsuruma
V2: Mei
V3: Rinka
V4: Miyabi, ???
V5: Mana

Thanks for the summaries and work at a pace that makes you comfortable. The main dudes name is spelled "Shougo" btw. Keep up the great work!!

And Miyabi got focused on 2 volumes, does that means she got the most screen time compared to others?

Here's a MAJOR spoiler for V4.

Spoiler for Major spoiler:

She's actually the little sister.

Though that theory gets kinda shaken in Volume 5.

The trap girl is indeed keeping an eye one Shohgo, and is quite loyal towards him. However, in V1, the girls thought that Shohgo was homo so they tried to "cure" him.

Thanks! Though for the name, I have the habit of putting an "h" instead of the "u". For example, "Touko Amano" turned into "Tohko Amano" in Bungaky Shoujo, and I believe that it has been the same for the name "Tohyama" in Hidan no Aria.

[Clarami]

Glad to here from you again KiRa08o2. Can't wait for the other summaries, I'm really loving this series more !!

I haven't read the spoiler. I'll wait for it in future summaries.

Not surprise with that. She actually looks like a little sister type.

[Athena]

Chapter 2, whatever the title is:

Spoiler for Ch2:

Starts off with the boys sexually harassing the teacher in class, saying that they want to turn her into a little sister. During that time, Shohgo reminisces about what happened, as well as remembering her sister saying that she'd marry him back at the funerals. Konoe is concerned about him. Well, anyways, Konoe invites Shohgo to the dance party. The latter accepts, and also asks Miyabi if she wants to come too, and Miyabi refuses (well, “refuses”).

At the party, nothing much. Mana (a.k.a. the airhead), the student council president, kicks off the party in some weird way, but was cut by Rinka (vice-president and 1st year a.k.a. the blonde). Shohgo starts dancing with Konoe, then Rinka (small incident happened), but also discovers Miyabi. Near a tree outside. After a tsundere dialogue and some sort, they ended up dancing. Though after Shohgo tries to take off a leaf/leaves from Miyabi's hair, she panicked and her chest is shown. Unimportant chatters follow, with Miyabi asking if Shohgo wants to see her chest and such. Finally, Miyabi runs off and Shohgo stays, dancing with Konoe and other girls.

At home, (*skips Shohgo's delusions*) Shohgo suddenly gets a call from that little sister and notices that she's using a fake voice. The little sister again says that she wants to marry him, etc. And Shohgo panicks. After the conversation (Shohgo still doesn't know WTH is behind that, since the little sister states that she'll hide her identity in order to make Shohgo fall in love with her before he notices that she's actually his little sister), scene goes to Miyabi having a weird monologue about her chest.

Chapter 3: Who's my sister?

Spoiler for Ch3-P1:

As Shohgo is still thinking about the recent events, on the road to somewhere (the bus station, I believe), he gets a sword threatening him, pointing at him in his back. The voice, which belongs to the one holding the sword, asks him to go somewhere where there's nobody. Shohgo accepts (doesn't have much a choice). It turns out that it is a member of the Mikadono group, sent by the secretary mentioned in the prologue. That person, who masks himself but seems to be, by the tome of his voice, a boy, calls himself Mr. X, wants to know why did Shohgo do research on his father (yeah, Shohgo consulted some kind of registry or something like that at the beginning of this chapter and even asked for a day off). Shohgo asks the person, since the latter seems to know a lot of the Mikadono intern affairs, if he knows about the rumor of an illegitimate child of his father. The secret-service boy says “yes”, and even says that it's something certain and true, that Shohgo's father has an illegitimate daughter. He also adds that if Shohgo doesn't believe him, Shohgo could just ask his mother, though she'd be quite angry. However, only Shohgo's father, his father's mistress and the illegitimate daughter (obviously) knows the identity of the daughter. Shohgo then decides to say that his sister is chasing him for marriage, and Mr. X suggests a DNA test with the ones close to Shohgo (since from the call in the previous chapter, the “little sister” stated that she had danced with Shohgo). However, Mr. X says that they'll need the girls' saliva and Shohgo argues, saying that he'd look like a pervert if he asked that. Then, Shohgo asks Mr. X to keep quiet about this thing, and Mr. X accepts. They split up after.

(Summary part 2 to-be-continued)

BTW, if someone while reading that is willing to correct the typos and grammar of my summaries, it'd be great.

Great summaries KiRa08o2. I know it's a habit but remember the guy's name is "Shougo" don't add a y, but a u. The summary itself was informative, but add a little bit more of information on character interactions and desciptions. The summaries are excellent can't wait for more and keep up the great work.

I added a "y"somewhere?

Yeah, well, I kinda skipped some interactions. But they are more in the sort of "Brother, I want to marry you" "No I don't wanna" "I'll make it so it will happen", etc. But I cut quite less in the case of chapter 3, since I am scared that things I didn't point out might serve as foreshadowing or things like that.

Sorry my mistake. You've added a second h in "Shougo's" name. It's spelled "Shougo" not "Shohgo", don't add a second h just a u, that's all. Can't wait for another summary, and yes, that your time.

[Clarami]

I just finished looking at vol 3 and things are looking interesting. Now on to vol 4.

It's okay, take your time. It's just I haven't heard from you in a while...that's all. I can read some Japanese characters, but not all though.

[Athena]

Summaries will have to wait for a few days/weeks. School is restraining my free time...though I might add some summaries from time to time.

Do what makes you feel comfortable, I'm good at waiting for things. I'm glad that I have someone to talk to about this series because this novel seems to be unnoticed and very few people talk about it, besides me and you.

It's become one of my top 5 novel series and I really enjoy your summaries and I love the characters.

So take your time and do what you have to do, I'll be waiting!!

[Athena]

What's your top 5, BTW?

There's summaries on this thread somewhere. Look them up, they're really explanatory.
