Plot
When his grandmother and last remaining relative dies, first-year high school student Yōtarō is orphaned. He ends up being adopted into a family of 19 daughters, each with a different personality, ranging in age from several months old to 18 years old. His adventures begin when he moves in with his "true family".
Characters
Note - the author of the light novel got carried away with the idea of having the sisters being a year apart in age. Based on the character birth dates given on the OVA website, there would actually be 2 calendar years between when the first and last girls were born in which a daughter could not have been born, and therefore some of the ages given are not consistent with the actual elapsed time. As an example, the youngest girl's birthday is given as being in April. According to the light novel, Yōtarō joins the girls on 25 December, therefore Asahi is ~9 months old. By the time the events of the OVA occur, Asahi would be over a year old and the eldest daughter would actually be 20 years old. ;Yōtarō Amatsuka ;Mama ;Miharu Amatsuka ;Mizore Amatsuka ;Haruka Amatsuka ;Hikaru Amatsuka ;Hotaru Amatsuka ;Tsurara Amatsuka ;Rikka Amatsuka ;Kosame Amatsuka ;Urara Amatsuka ;Seika Amatsuka ;Yūna Amatsuka ;Fubuki Amatsuka ;Watayuki Amatsuka ;Mari Amatsuka ;Mizuki Amatsuka ;Sakura Amatsuka ;Nijiko Amatsuka ;Sora Amatsuka ;Asahi Amatsuka
