Yotsuba Hazama has it made. Summer vacation is just around the corner, and this year she gets to spend it with her two girlfriends, Yuna and Rinka! Sure, she'll spend it doing makeup lessons instead unless she passes all her finals, but how hard could that be? And her girlfriends' fan club is a ticking time bomb in the background of her school life, but it's not like that has any chance of causing her problems! And, yes, her little sisters have been treating her with an inexplicable mixture of contempt and suspicion lately, but there's no way that'll go anywhere unpleasant!


On second thought, let's start over: Yotsuba Hazama is in way over her head! Her first-ever summer with her new girlfriends is in peril of flunking-induced cancellation, her social standing at school is dangling by a thread, and she can't even figure out what's wrong with her relationship with her sisters, but it's definitely going to be a problem! Who knew having two girlfriends could be this difficult?!

Prologue: Love and Wishes


Love will change your world!

Those words suddenly popped into my head as I watched a couple who happened to be walking in front of me. They were holding hands, only they’d surreptitiously tucked those hands into one of their pockets to hide the act from prying eyes. It was a move straight out of some cheesy romance manga.

Yeah... Maybe it really istrue, I reflected. I’d encountered the claim just a moment earlier, written on the cover of a magazine in the convenience store I’d stopped by—one of those fashion periodicals marketed mostly toward teenage girls. It was January 1, New Year’s Day, and I couldn’t even tell if the magazine was supposed to be an end-of-year or start-of-year special edition, so I think it sort of goes without saying that defining “love” wascompletely beyond me.

My name is Yotsuba Hazama, I’m sixteen years old, and I’m a first-year high school student with no redeeming qualities to speak of. I’m equally terrible when it comes to academics and athletics, and I barely even have any friends! Saying that I have no business talking about love would be an understatement—to me, love is about as realistic as princesses who live in castles, evil witches, princes, dragons, and all those other classic fairy-tale characters. But, like, whocares, right? What does it matter if love’s never gonna change my world?I think it’s praiseworthy enough for people like me to get by and carry on with their loveless lives!

...Yeah, I’m not even surewho I was delivering that excuse-laden internal tirade to. At least my hands were as warm as that couple’s probably were, if only because I’d shoved them into the pockets of the brand-new duffle coat I’d bought during a New Year’s sale. All that wasn’t to say that my world hadn’t done any changing lately, though, even if it wasn’t on account of love. In fact, about nine months earlier, my admission into high school had triggered a shift in my life more dramatic than anything I could’ve ever imagined!

Yotsuba! ♪

Hey, Yotsuba.

Just thinking about them made me feel like I could hear their lovely voices echoing within my mind, soothing my gray matter. Heck, it made me feel like they’d just materialized right before my very eyes: the angelically adorable Yuna Momose and the divinely graceful Rinka Aiba. The two of them seemed to live in a totally different world from me, and were so overwhelmingly revered by our peers that they were commonly referred to as th
