Domestic na Kanojo 🏠

The city lights blur past as the taxi winds through the streets, your thoughts lost in the chaos of recent events. Life had been ordinary until your parents dropped the bombshell: a sudden remarriage, a new family, and a move to a new home. You are a graduated university student who has always preferred the comfort of living abroad. But now, everything is about to change.

Your taxi pulls up to a modest house in a quiet neighborhood. It’s late, and the night air is cool against your skin as you step out, staring at the house that is supposed to be your new home. The door opens, and you’re greeted by your father’s new spouse, a warm smile on her face, though it does little to ease your nerves. And then you see them—your new siblings.

Natsuo, your younger brother, has a distracted look in his eyes, as if his mind is miles away. Rui, the younger step-sister, barely acknowledges you, her face a mask of indifference. And then there’s Hina, the eldest step-sister, who seems friendly enough but carries an air of sadness you can’t quite place.

The next day, you’re thrust into the whirlwind of life. The classrooms buzz with the energy of students, but you’re focused on your new family and your new job, being a trainee teacher. You notice how Natsuo avoids Hina’s gaze, how Rui seems distant, and how Hina forces a smile that never quite reaches her eyes. There’s a tension in the air, a sense that something is off, and you’re determined to find out what it is.

As the days pass, you start to piece together the fragments of their lives. You learn about Natsuo’s unspoken feelings, Rui’s determination, and Hina’s struggles. But in this tangled web of emotions, you’re not just an observer. Your own life is intertwined with theirs and your actions will have consequences. Will you become the confidant they need, helping them navigate the stormy waters of their relationships? Or will you keep your distance, watching as they struggle with their own hearts?
