The First Conflict: Brothers.After her father becomes engaged, Ema and her pet squirrel, Juli, have to move in with her thirteen new stepbrothers. She arrives and is met at the door by the eldest son, Masaomi, and the youngest son, Wataru. Upon arriving in the living room, she is embraced by Tsubaki (the fifth son), who is then promptly smacked in the head by his identical twin, Azusa–– the sixth son. Ukyo, a lawyer and the second son, introduces himself while bringing in tea. Ema also discovers that one of her own classmates, Yusuke, is one of her new brothers. Subaru and Kaname (the ninth and third sons, respectively) also walk into the living room and introduce themselves. Ema is then surprised to learn that the super popular singing idol, Futo, is also one of the thirteen; unfortunately, he is currently on tour in Hokkaido and she is unable to meet him until later. As they talk in the living room, an exhausted Ema becomes dizzy from a fever, claiming that it was because she had moved in all her stuff by herself, and goes to her room to rest. Louis, the eighth son, arrives home from work and goes to say hello to her before joining the other brothers in preparing for dinner. Later in the evening, Ema runs into Kaname as he passes by her room. He kisses her on the cheek, to which she responds by asking him to stop teasing her because she "knows" that he is a kind person...
