When I started watching this on Crunchyroll I had little idea what to expect; I didn't even know what genre it was although given the setting I suspected it would be a comedy. I hadn't watched much when I realised it wasn't just a comedy it was almost certainly going to turn out to be yet another harem series featuring plenty of fan-service... somewhere around the half way point I realised that these early escapades were there to lull the viewer into a false sense of security as the plot takes several turns for the worse for the characters... for this viewer this was when things started to get interesting.
The story follows Sana; a high school boy who returns to his childhood town after several years away. Once back in school he is reunited with his old friends including brother and sister twins Shusuke and Shuri, Aoi and Nanaka. With most of them he quickly becomes friends again but for some reason Nanaka does not seem pleased to see him back. Over the course of the early episodes we learn why she doesn't seem to like him any more... these are the more light hearted episodes! Later on we learn that Nanaka has never really got over the death of her parents; there is an anonymous accusation of incest thrown at the twins and even an attempted murder.
After the unpromising start I'm glad I stuck with this series as it got much better... towards the end it was really quite gripping and as soon as one episode ended I wanted to start watching the next. The character designs are fairly standard; looking like those in many series of the type however I found them interesting despite their generic appearance.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
