He looks after the residents by cooking their meals and tending to their daily needs, all while working a part-time job at the dorm's attached crepe café. This charming café, located on the first floor to give the girls real-world experience, becomes a place where he shares the sweet and sour moments of work life alongside them in their cute uniforms.

His tireless efforts do not go unnoticed, and the heroines come to hold his kindness deep in their hearts. And when so many bright personalities live together under one roof, isn't it inevitable that a single spark will ignite a flame?

Summary

On one fateful day, my apartment burns down.

My younger sister, Yaotome Suzuka, secures a room in Hoshikuzu Academy’s dormitory. As for me, I’m left unemployed and homeless.

Just when things look bleak, an unexpected opportunity appears: a job as the live-in dorm mother of the very same all-girls dormitory where my sister is staying! Room, board, and pay—there’s no reason to refuse!

But there’s a catch: I have to work at the crepe café next door as well. It’ll be a lot of work, sure, but I’m not about to turn it down! Plus, I’ll be watching over a group of distinct girls as their dorm mother...

The gorgeous, full-bodied girl who seems to know my past.
My socially awkward younger sister who struggles with group life.
The narcissist who craves the approval of others.
The petite dorm president who hides a deep desire to be dependent.
The pure-hearted, carefree gyaru who wears her heart on her sleeve.
The mature older woman who has seen it all.

No problem! I’ll make sure to take good care of every single one of them!
