Introduction

“Nice ta meetchaaaa♪”

…She sounds kind of dumb! The first impression of “she’s really pretty” collapses in an instant.

The girl who becomes his stepsister through his father’s remarriage is a super cheeky, totally modern gyaru!? While their parents are away, a hellish new life begins, with Kota being tossed around by Aika’s free-spirited lifestyle…

To her parents she is a “good girl,” but in private she is a “bad girl.” Aika is a seriously annoying, troublesome teenage sister. And stuck with her is Kota, a nitpicky, argumentative guy who ended up as her brother. Whenever they face each other, the insults never stop. The worst, trash-tier sibling relationship is born!?

Yet maybe it is just his nature as an older brother, but despite everything, Kota is surprisingly caring. Little by little, Aika starts to find herself thinking about him…!?
