Haruma Kawagoe has had the lifelong wish of being an older brother. However, after a miscarriage and an operation, his mother could not give him a little sister. Nevertheless, he never gave up on his wish.

One Christmas night, during his college days, Haruma has a huge present delivered through his window by a woman on an airborne motorcycle claiming to be Santa Claus. The present contains the little sister he always wanted, and Santa justifies the time it took to fulfil his wish by saying that making a little sister takes a lot more time than just making an android.

This cute manga and anime follows Haruma's life as he attempts to adjust to suddenly having a little sister out of the blue, especially a little sister who has an instruction manual with material inappropriate for her age, and follows it religiously.

Tropes this show has examples of:

• Accidental Pervert: Inverted in episode 4. Makoto pushes Chitose into Haruma's apartment. Poor Haruma, he was only wearing a towel.
• All Love Is Unrequited: Taken to almost absurd levels - literally every single character except Choco is in love with someone totally oblivious.
• Bottle Fairy: Makoto, one of the tenants where Haruma is staying, who also loves to tease their landlord.
• Childhood Marriage Promise: In the manga, Haruma made one to his cousin Konatsu.
• Christmas Episode
• Cloudcuckoolander: Chitose has a rather vivid imagination
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The anime's ending.
  • The ending of the manga actually raises this by a few degrees.
  • The second half of episode 12 certainly qualifies.

• Put On a Bus: Ayano.
• Santa Claus: Well, a Santa, if not the actual old cheerful man.

    • In the manga, The reason Yurika doesn't believe in Santa Claus.
