Plot

A high school senior named Yōtarō thought he was an only child—until he met his real mother and discovered that she has 19 daughters (his sisters, one of whom is his fraternal twin), each with a different personality, ranging in age from several months old to 18-years-old. He ends up moving in with his "true family".
