In recent times, the definition of "homeless" has evolved. There are young individuals known as "net cafe refugees" who lack both employment and a permanent residence, instead moving between internet cafes. One such refugee is Chisato, a 20-year-old woman who lost her mother early in life to illness. She spent her youth attempting to escape the significant debt left by her father, facing nightly confrontations with debt collectors. Chisato's perspective on "family" shifted after encountering Shinzo, a man from a wealthy family dating back to the Edo period. Shinzo had adopted six handsome sons in the hopes of finding a successor, but each son possessed peculiar traits. Shinzo offered to eliminate Chisato's debt in exchange for marriage and becoming the mother of his sons. However, living with these six men under one roof would prove challenging.
