Plot
Kazuya Hasekawa is the younger brother to Kazuhiro, who has raised the both of them since they were orphaned. The elder brother is both teasing and doting, and he has attended the prestigious boys-only Ryokuto Academy and then college, all while caring for Kazuya.
Having finished middle school and passed the entrance exam, Kazuya has finally entered Ryokuto Academy himself. He chooses to reside there in order to flee life at home, since his brother has just married the young woman on whom Kazuya has had a crush. Unfortunately, Kazuya has a medical crisis which delays his high school entry by a few weeks. Life is made harder for him by Kazuhiro returning to take the position of the academy's school nurse.
When Kazuya finally does start the semester, he is assigned to live in the remote dormitory on campus known as Greenwood. He feels out of place because of his late entry, which has meant that everyone else has a better grasp of the situations there. Worse, the serious and strait-laced Kazuya also is agonized because, in Greenwood, eccentricities abound.
Among its single and double occupancy rooms are oddities such as gamblers, computer freaks, evangelists, and even a powerfully built upperclassman who rooms with his motorcycle, which he easily carries up and down the stairs. Kazuya's own assigned roommate is a fellow freshman: the long-haired, delicately featured, and startlingly pretty Shun Kisaragi, who is told to be a girl hiding out at Ryokuto by pretending to be a boy who looks like a girl.
