It's a gorgeous, spacious mansion, and four handsome, fifteen-year-old friends are allowed to live in it for free! There's only one condition—that within three years the guys must transform the owner's wallflower niece into a lady befitting the palace in which they all live! How hard can it be? Enter Sunako Nakahara, the agoraphobic, horror-movie-loving, pockmark-faced, frizzy-haired, fashion-illiterate recluse who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive. This project is going to take more than our four heroes ever expected: it needs a miracle!

It is a gorgeous, spacious mansion, and four handsome fifteen-year-old friends are allowed to live in it for free. That premise is a lively, quirky comedy about a household that is odd from the start. The series builds its humour on the strange, awkward dynamic of boys who are forced to share a home.The strength is the cast. The characters are distinct and funny, and the household chaos gives each chapter a lively rhythm. The mansion setting is vivid and playful.The weaknesses are clear. The run is very long and episodic, and some jokes lose punch over time. Readers wanting a tight plot may find it loose.Recommended for fans of quirky household comedies with a big cast. Expect a lively, episodic ride.
