Synopsis
The story revolves around Sakurai Sōbi, an abandoned child of a noble of the Sakurai family. Born during the days he indulged himself with various women, Sōbi only gets to finally return to her long lost family after the noble remembered her right before he died. She now lives under the custody of her brother and the Sakurais' new head, Sakurai Kiō. Even then, she still keeps dressing and acting like a boy as she always has rather than trying to be a proper lady. She eventually falls in love with Mito Michisato, a nobleman of the Mito family who is essentially the very opposite of her, in that he always dresses and acts like a girl, even until he is old enough to have facial hair.
