Plot

Ema Hinata is the daughter of the famous adventurer Rintarō Hinata. One day, Ema finds out that her dad is going to remarry with a successful apparel maker named Miwa Asahina.

The teenage daughter of the well-known adventurer Rintarou Asahina. She is 16 years old and in her second year of high school. After her father remarries, she moves in with her new step-brothers. She is very good at cooking. Her father's job had always left Ema feeling alone, but now with her new family she feels happy and safe. She has a talking pet squirrel named Juli who is always saying that her new family is a pack of wolves and that she must always be well aware of her surroundings. Juli can only communicate with Ema and (as it is later discovered) Louis, and both Juli and Louis call Ema "Chi". It is later revealed that she is adopted (her real parents had died). This revelation causes a problem for her at first because her so-called father had been keeping it from her for so many years. However, Louis helps her through this with his own experience, and Juli also reassures her of her father's love.

"Dai ichi shōtotsu: Kyōdai" (第一衝突: 兄弟)

After her father becomes engaged, Ema and her pet squirrel, Juli, have to move in with her thirteen new stepbrothers. She arrives and is met at the door by the eldest son, Masaomi, and the youngest son, Wataru. Upon arriving in the living room, she is embraced by Tsubaki (the fifth son), who is then promptly smacked in the head by his identical twin, Azusa–– the sixth son. Ukyo, a lawyer and the second son, introduces himself while bringing in tea. Ema also discovers that one of her own classmates, Yusuke, is one of her new brothers. Subaru and Kaname (the ninth and third sons, respectively) also walk into the living room and introduce themselves. Ema is then surprised to learn that the super popular singing idol, Futo, is also one of the thirteen; unfortunately, he is currently on tour in Hokkaido and she is unable to meet him until later. As they talk in the living room, an exhausted Ema becomes dizzy from a fever and goes to her room to rest. Louis, the eighth son, arrives home from work and go to say hello to her before joining the other brothers in preparing for dinner. Later in the evening, Ema runs into Kaname as he passes by her room. He kisses her on the cheek, to which she responds by asking him to stop teasing her, because she "knows" that he is a kind person. After Kaname leaves, Ema decides to go take a shower and accidentally bumps into Subaru, who only has a towel around his waist. Embarrassed, she runs into the living room where the twins, Tsubaki and Azusu, are apparently confessing their love to each other. Ema runs away when Azusa tells her that he did indeed confess to Tsubaki, only to laugh at her, explaining that the two of them are voice actors and that they are only rehearsing from a script. Ema eventually arrives back in her room and lays in her bed, wondering what new adventure she had just gotten herself into. After the ending song, Yusuke is seen lying in his bed, asking himself, "Ah, why? Why does she need to be the one that is my sibling?"

She comes back from the market to find Louis, who had fallen asleep across a couch on the landing above their living room. He wakes and then almost immediately insists for her to let him do her hair. While Louis is styling her hair, he finds that the curling iron is broken and rushes off to find a new one. Futo walks in, demanding to know where Louis is, and, finding he isn't at the house, storms out of the house. Once Louis is finished with Ema's hair, she bakes and decorate's Subaru's birthday cake. The brothers, including a blushing Subaru, are presented the beautiful, fruit encrusted confection. Later on, Ema decides to go to the living room, where Tsubaki is teasing Subaru about liking Ema in a non-sibling way. Embarrassed and (quite) drunk, Subaru says mean things and later realizes that Ema had heard all of it. He goes to apologize, but ends up kissing Ema, then passing out on top of her. The "valiant" twins arrive on the scene and haul Subaru off of Ema. When they question her about what had happened, she protects Subaru by insisting that it was a complete accident.
