Love Out on a Limb

Eight years after her parents' divorce, Yui returns to her hometown following their remarriage. Reunited with her older brother Hayato for the first time in nearly a decade, she is stunned by his transformation into a mature and widely admired young man. Her homecoming also brings an unexpected encounter with Ritsu, a childhood friend she once knew as a timid crybaby but now barely recognizes. As Yui settles back into life under the same roof as Hayato, she finds herself increasingly flustered by his presence, her heart racing with every passing interaction. Troubled by these unfamiliar emotions, Yui begins to question whether her feelings have crossed the line from sisterly affection into something far more forbidden. Recognizing the taboo nature of her growing attachment, Ritsu steps in with a bold proposal: he suggests they begin dating to distract her and suppress her inappropriate longing for Hayato before it spirals out of control. However, beneath the surface of this unconventional arrangement lies a deeper mystery. The newly formed family tree may not be as straightforward as it appears, threatening to complicate everyone's relationships in ways none of them could have anticipated.
