Then, through a chance meeting, he develops a relationship with the three Kawamoto sisters (Akari, Hinata, Momo), who hail from a working-class district of the city, and little by little his frozen heart begins to thaw.

I generally don't write reviews but this is a very good manga. I don't really have much to say just give it a try, I promise it will be worth your time.
