The story is a charming blend of slice-of-life and light romance, following protagonist Taiki and his interactions with his siblings and a demon girl named Elisabeth during a summer in the Japanese countryside.

Overall, the story is described as cute, fluffy, and enjoyable, making it a suitable choice for fans of light-hearted visual novels.
“The story follows the protagonist Taiki, a university student, on summer break with his three younger siblings—Chiharu, Nene, and Reza—at their grandparents' house in the Japanese countryside.”
“A very charming love story and a sweet family story rolled into one; this one is definitely a gem.”
“The story sets its tone very quickly, however, after her arrival and dispels the notion that this will be a grim or harrowing tale.”
“Overall, while I enjoyed my lovey-dovey demon's presentation and the final quarter of its story, I can't say that it was worth the trudge through the boring, derivative slice-of-life scenes that led up to it.”
“As a result, most of the story until the climax and denouement was lackluster, aside from the few genuinely funny moments in which Nene drops her chuuni persona.”
“The story itself is pretty much slice-of-life, with the characters getting into various antics and such.”
