Plot
After graduating from middle school, Kotaro Ietani is accepted to Metropolitan Happee High School. On the morning of the entrance ceremony, Kotaro's heart swells with anticipation for high school life. Suddenly, his father, Ichiro—a middle school graduate who had long yearned for high school life—tells him that he will be attending the same high school. Kotaro also learns that his mother, Shizuka; his elementary school–aged sister, Haruka; and even their pet, Gomez, will all be attending the same high school. Thus, swept up by the members of the Ietani family, Kotaro's high school life begins.
