Meet Yotsuba Koiwai, the strangest little girl around. With a mind so straight it's twisted, Yotsuba takes everything in life at face value and sees everything with the eyes of impenetrable innocence. With her laid-back father, Yotsuba moves into a new house and makes new friends - friends whose minds boggle at the wacky and somewhat wise way that Yotsuba lives her daily life!

After an argument with his father, Ikuto Tohoin runs away from home; his destination, a boat trip that he'd always wanted to take. However, things don't go quite according to plan: after carelessly falling overboard, Ikuto is left drifting in the ocean on a safety ring, all the while worried that he has drifted too far from his home country. A week later he is rescued by a girl named Suzu, and awakens to find himself on Airantou - an island cut off from the rest of the world by dangerous water currents; an island where technology has not advanced since the Meiji era; an island populated only by women! With no way of escaping, and with many girls desperate to marry him - the only man on the island - will Ikuto be able to survive?

Cheerful middle-schooler Miku lives on a mountain farm with her grandpa, where they keep a large number of animals. When Aruga, a senpai at Miku's school, concocts a plan to help some local stray animals that are causing a nuisance, fellow animal lover Miku seems like a natural choice to help out. As the two of them become closer, Miku finds herself falling in love... but will dense Aruga ever figure it out?
