| Tenichi Iemori is the eldest of three, just starting his second year of high school; after his father was transferred, he assumed household cooking and cleaning duties, then started a part-time job cleaning houses, saving his earnings for college. He is the class representative, joined by his crush Honoka Kanai, the class sub rep, and on the first day of school is assigned to welcome Himari Yoshino, a new transfer student who is a popular influencer with her own line of makeup. That afternoon, he begins work at a new client's luxurious yet filthy apartment; it turns out to be Himari's, and she swears him to secrecy over its condition to protect her brand. Himari soon expands his role to provide daily homemade bento. While dressing incognito to shop for cleaning supplies together, Himari and Tenichi run into Honoka at her part-time job as a coffee barista; after they leave, Honoka is envious that Himari and Tenichi apparently are growing closer. Tenichi gives Himari a cooking lesson so she can sustain the domestic goddess illusion created by Tenichi's lunches during an in-class cooking unit. An energetic Mayumi Konoe inadvertently hints at Honoka's feelings for Tenichi before cancelling her plans with Honoka, leaving a spare ticket, and Himari encourages Honoka to use it and ask Tenichi to a stand-up comedy show. | ||||

| Mayu's white lie gives Honoka and Tenichi two extra hours together in Shinjuku before the show; after their satisfying date, Tenichi prepares congee for Himari, who is bedridden with a cold. She asks him to wash her clothes, but he declines as he is too bashful to see her underwear. A few days later, Himari frets over the best way to give Tenichi his first pay and the delay causes him to fear he will be fired. On the Yamanote Line, Tenichi helps Kanna Aizawa find a lost bag; she is an aspiring model and first-year high schooler on her way to her debut event. After the event, Kanna, who works with Himari, walks in on Tenichi while he is cleaning Himari's apartment. Kanna sees Tenichi acting like a husband to Himari and perceives the growing mutual attraction between them. Honoka offers to tutor Tenichi; Himari wonders if he is fond of Honoka, which he confirms by asking her for advice in declaring his affection for Honoka. She shares a photograph of herself from the first year of middle school, showing how far she has come to earn self-confidence. Kanna shows up unexpectedly at school and announces she will enroll there starting tomorrow. Tenichi volunteers to help Kanna with chores and unpacking from her recent move to Tokyo. | ||||

| Kanna and Tenichi unpack at her apartment; one open box reveals Kanna is a fan of shōjo manga featuring kindly butlers. Kanna, Himari, and Tenichi shop for clothes in Harajuku, where Himari suggests an outfit for Tenichi. On the bus to a school camping trip, Honoka and Tenichi are seated together; after losing a bingo game, they sing "Sakuranbo" in exchange for a later excursion to the observation deck. Himari hands out free samples of her 'lucky love' lipstick, to be worn in front of their crush. Tenichi is assigned to trail the group on a group hike so he can assist any stragglers; Himari pretends to suffer a leg cramp to accompany him. At the camp, while rejecting potential suitors, Himari sighs and Tenichi confesses he admires her hard work and hopes her Hima-Riz makeup line makes normal girls feel seen too. Tenichi realizes Honoka is wearing the 'lucky love' lipstick when they meet at the observation deck, but she claims it was just to prevent chapped lips. For the final outdoors event, Tenichi and Himari are paired for a haunted walk; realizing that he never told Honoka she was cute, Himari volunteers to let him practice with her. They stumble and accidentally kiss on the cheek. Himari realizes she is starting to care for Tenichi; they discuss expanding his scope of work, literally allowing him into more private spaces. Kanna, homesick, visits a shrine with Himari and Tenichi; Tenichi cluelessly gives each an omamori amulet. | ||||

| Tenichi helps Kanna capture a cockroach at her apartment; as thanks, she dresses as a maid and cooks omurice for him. After Kanna is cast in a film, Honoka suggests Tenichi's mom could style her hair. Kanna accompanies Tenichi and his younger brother and sister to an amusement park, and her obvious affection for Tenichi leads to a Ferris wheel ride together, where she confesses her love to Tenichi but claims it was practice for her upcoming role. At the mid-term parent-teacher conferences, Tenichi meets Honoka's youthful, flirty mom, who asks for help while she recovers from a sprained wrist, and Himari's cool, aloof mom, who approves his care for Himari. Before he arrives, Honoka spends the day cleaning; with little left to do, Tenichi gardens and cooks dinner. She invites him to her summer cram school. Himari is surprised to learn that Tenichi is also working for Honoka; Himari invites herself to the grocery with him and they share an umbrella in the rain. He misses the end-of-term ceremony with a slight fever, causing all three girls to worry and they visit; Tenichi's dad asks later if he has a favorite. Himari invites her friends to a beachfront vacation house in Kamakura; there, Tenichi is flustered by Honoka and Kanna in swimsuits, and when he rescues Himari from a stray wave, she realizes she is growing jealous. In the bath, Mayu confesses a crush on Tenichi, shocking the other three; they sit with him while watching a scary movie. Himari asks if she can stop rooting for Honoka. | ||||

| Kanna delivers vegetables to Tenichi, who is planning meals with his sister Mikoto; privately, Mikoto tells Kanna she and her mom hope Kanna will date him. After Kanna wins the grand prize for the gravure magazine Yan Jam, she hugs him impulsively and redeems his promise to cook her a meal, which he says they will share with Himari, dampening her joy. Tenichi takes a week off from work for cram school with Honoka, who is overwhelmed when he calls her cute. Mayu interrupts to invite them to view fireworks at a summer festival; Himari is unable to keep her plans to view fireworks with him. Tenichi attends the festival with Honoka, Yokomizo, and Mayu, where he wins a digital projector, which he uses to show Himari a video of the fireworks. When he returns to her apartment that night for the private screening, she puts on makeup and a yukata. She tells him she needs to be more direct and secretly realizes she has a crush on Tenichi. Himari adopts a stray kitten named Maro from the Terasaka family. On the first day of the new term, Himari recognizes their classmate, sprinter Sumire Terasaka, as a childhood friend, but her cold reaction confuses Himari. Sumire suspects Tenichi is stalking Himari; she actually was overwhelmed to meet Himari, as she founded a Himarin fan club. Sumire realizes that Himari has a crush on Tenichi, and Himari asks her for love advice. Honoka clears up a misunderstanding with Tenichi over shared takoyaki and her friends persuade her to act as the primary idol in a three-girl group at the upcoming school festival. Himari's wish to perform at the festival turns into a secret date when she volunteers to help Tenichi with event coordination while keeping a low profile. | ||||

| Kanna is the hit of the cosplay cafe in a fitted cheongsam and convinces Tenichi to participate in the fashion show as a couple; when they appear together, Honoka, Himari, and Mayu are shocked. Himari embarks on a stamp rally with Tenichi and when she confesses to enjoy the ordinary high school girl experience, he says every day is special because he gets to hang out with a celebrity. Honoka asks Mayu if Tenichi likes Kanna before Honoka, Iori Yamada, and Hazuki Yano cover Fairy True's "Inner Pocket Romance" as The Flower Girls. Tenichi praises her performance and Honoka says she declined a chance to be an idol because she has a crush; Tenichi cannot imagine who. At the after party, Tenichi watches Himari perform "Unrequited Love", and she walks home alone, vowing to make him notice her. Sumire runs into Tenichi while shopping and falls asleep on his shoulder while returning home. Tenichi visits Honoka at her work but is too shy to ask who her crush is; on the way out, he literally runs into Himenono (Nonoka Himeno), the center singer of the idol group Fairy True, who declares she is quitting the group and ends up giving Tenichi a somewhat harrowing ride home. Himari's new strategy of being aloof to Tenichi leads to a frank conversation and she asks him on a date for the upcoming Labor Thanksgiving Day, ostensibly to express her appreciation for his help. Himari treats him to both the attraction (aquarium) and restaurant, and Tenichi confesses he wishes he could find a way to show how grateful he is for her, too, so she surprises him with a long hug, saying it will give her energy. | ||||
