Nagami Yu, a light novel otaku, dreams of becoming a light novel author. However, while he struggles to make his debut, one day, his younger sister, Nagami Suzuka, sends him a work on a whim and it wins the grand prize. The work in question was a light novel titled "The Story of a Little Sister Who Loves Her Big Brother Too Much, Getting into Trouble," written under the pen name Towa no Chikai. Suzuka had decided to debut as an author with a brother-sister story, something that Yu would never have imagined. However, due to her strict father's refusal to allow her to work, and part-time jobs are prohibited at school, Suzuka asked Yu to work in her place as Towa no Chikai. At first, Yu was hesitant, saying, "Making a debut with someone else's work..." But seeing Suzuka's teary-eyed request, he seemed to want to help, and accepted her request. He's a kind older brother who is willing to make big decisions for his sister.
