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. |
