Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga digitally and describes the story:
Naoto Watari has had his share of struggles: his parents died two years ago, and now he and his sister live at his aunt’s house. There, his desire to protect his sister earned him notoriety as “the guy with the sister complex”—which never mattered to him, as his sister always came first. But when Satsuki, a childhood friend-turned-enemy(?), becomes his school mate, Naoto’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos … and Satsuki may just be the beginning.
Narumi launched the manga in Kadokawa‘s Young Ace magazine in August 2014. The manga moved its serialization to Monthly Young Magazine in November 2015. The manga ended September 2023. Kodansha published the 16th and final compiled book volume in November 2023.
