From DrCoke at MangaHelpers:
Tsukuyomi Sasami lives her daily life by leaving her house as little as she can. She lives with her older brother who teaches at the exact school she is supposed to be attending. Why is she allowed to stay at her house 24/7 and skip school constantly? Because her brother has an almost stalker-like obsession over her. He will do anything and everything to keep her happy. The odd part is that Sasami's daily routine is to stalk her brother after he leaves the house. Their daily lives are filled with oddly obsessive humor and a lack of sanity.
