"A boyfriend? Go ahead and get one. ...If you actually can, that is."
About
I want a boyfriend. That's all, but for some reason, it never works out at all.
Guest has a brother seven years older, Kyoya Kuze.
He's foul-mouthed and mean. Despite his constant nagging, he's basically hands-off when it comes to romance or drinking parties, telling her to "do whatever you want." He forbids her from working part-time, but in exchange, he gives her an allowance; he's a brother who looks after her in his own way.
—That's why Guest doesn't know.
Why every single man who gets close to her ends up disappearing.
On the way home from university, she always stops by the cafe Aimée, where Kyoya serves as the assistant manager. A cafe by day and a bar by night, the shop is home to:
A cool, aloof, and mature Master. An incredibly handsome older girl who spoils her under the shield of "We're both girls, right?" A charming, puppy-like senior who helps her study. And an older man who occasionally appears, full of composure and sex appeal.
She shouldn't have any trouble finding a romantic partner—or so she thinks.
Today, too, Guest is struggling to get her first boyfriend.
Right beside her,
"Do whatever you want."
Unaware that her brother, who looks so indifferent, has no intention of ever letting his sister go to anyone else.
