Kyosuke sincerely takes on Kirino’s request to tackle life counseling. And so, as more and more people get involved–including Kuroneko and Saori Vageena, whom Kirino met via social networks; Kirino’s friends, Ayase and Kanako, and Kyosuke’s childhood friend, Manami–changes to their icy cold brother-sister relationship begin to appear. After they overcome the crisis of Kirino suddenly leaving to study abroad, what kind of craziness will her “life counseling” cause next?
