The main character in the story is named Kamikura Hiroki who lives with his younger cousin Housen Elis, who is also a main character in this story. Hiroki is trying to become an art teacher while trying to take care of Elis since her parent died in a car crash. When Kikyou Kiri, Hiroki’s childhood friend, comes to teach at the school problems begin to start and for Hiroki to decide which girl he has the most feelings for.

I enjoyed this anime. Its has some interesting conflicts like Elis being afraid of using red. Theres also the problem in which Hiroki is becoming an art teacher but hasnt drawn since his childhood. This anime shows what true love is wether that be real true love or friendship love. I find this anime wasnt really lolicon or harem. It seems to me to be a typical life of a teacher and student growing up finishing school and becoming a teacher with real life problems. I also enjoy how this anime ends. It shows the power of love conquers all fears and shows a persons true nature.
