Plot
[edit]The series follows Uryū Kamihate, a high school student who is aiming to pass the entrance exams to the Kyoto University's medical school. After living in an orphanage for much of his life following the death of his mother, he comes to live at Amagami Shrine, where the head priest asks him to marry one of his three granddaughters. Uryū and the Amagami sisters also have to contend with various issues, such as the shrine being in danger of closing down due to financial issues. Through flashforwards, it is implied that Uryū will eventually marry one of the sisters, even though he doesn't want to at all, and actively tries to avoid it at all costs.

- Voiced by: Sōnosuke Hattori (vomic),[2] Ryōta Suzuki (anime)[3] (Japanese); Branden Loera[4] (English)
- A high school student aiming to enter Kyoto University's medical school. He was inspired to become a doctor after his mother's death. Despite being engrossed in studying most of the time, he managed to bond with the Amagami siblings in spite of their rough start and is destined to marry one of the siblings in order to continue the legacy of Amagami Shrine. Because he believes that God did not answer his prayers for his mother to get better, he initially does not believe in spirituality or religion, and hates the idea of relationships and having a significant other. Initially, he has no romantic feelings for any of the girls at all, and refuses to marry any of them, wanting to get away from them and the shrine as soon as possible. However, he eventually warms up to the girls and starts treating them better. He's very capable of doing household chores and cooking which the Amagami siblings adore very much. A frequent running gag of Uryu revolves around him getting caught in awkward situation where the Amagami siblings, Yuna in particular, keep on chiding him for being perverse.

17 year old orphan Uryu dreams of becoming a doctor and absolutely does not believe in God, so he is exasperated to be moving into Amagami Shrine with the elderly priest Chidori. However he finds only three girls, Chidori’s granddaughters and Shrine Maidens; 20 year old Yae (whom secretly has unrequited feelings for him) and 14 year old Asahi welcome him while 17 year old Yuna declares Uryu a blasphemous pervert. Her opinion of him worsens when he manages to end up in lewd situations with all three of them. Yuna is devastated when a bird steals the hair tie she inherited from her deceased mother. She and Uryu argue again when she decides to pray for luck instead of just looking for it. He later disappears, worrying Yae that he left, until they find a photograph showing he used to believe in God until his mother died. Uryu is shown searching bird nests, though in the end he does say a prayer for luck. Seeing him, Yuna decides to give him a chance. On their way back they witness a meteor shower known locally as the Magical Star Shower that answers prayers. To Uryu’s disbelief the hair tie blows down from a nest and lands on Yuna’s head. Chidori finally returns to the shrine and immediately requests that Uryu marry one of his granddaughters, much to his shock as he heavily detests the idea of having a significant other. | |||||

First they make him responsible for cooking, laundry and cleaning Yae’s messy bedroom. When he does all this perfectly they consider letting him stay, but Uryu announces he is leaving since so many chores will get in the way of studying. Yuna soon feels guilty so they follow Uryu all the way to the foster home where he was raised by Dr. Mahiru alongside his childhood friend Shirahi and other children whose parents are too ill to look after them. Seeing Uryu interact with the children gives the girls an insight into his past and desire to become a doctor. At Mahiru’s persuasion Uryu agrees to return to the shrine while the girls agree to do some chores themselves. Unfortunately they are so bad at chores Uryu is doomed to do it all himself anyway. Chidori is glad to see Uryu taking over as man of the house and decides it is time for each granddaughter to have an arranged marriage meeting with Uryu. | |||||

Next he meets Yuna who abruptly demands he make her pregnant. Yae and Asahi explain Yuna sees it as her duty to marry Uryu so her sisters don’t have to. Uryu moves their meeting to a cat café to cheer her up and she eventually agrees to relax so her sisters don’t worry about her. Yae goes missing before their meeting but Uryu finds her at the Inari Shrine where she claims her reasons are secret. As an apology she buys him a good luck charm then teases him by asking which sister he prefers. Shocked, Uryu refuses to reciprocate her feelings and starts to back away, but falls down the shrine stairs and experiences a vision of himself as a doctor marrying all three sisters, leaving him shaken and in denial. He suddenly awakens in his room and suspects he dreamed everything, until he finds the broken charm Yae bought him on his desk. | |||||

Uryu decides to advertise on social media. Asahi attempts to advertise using the girls beauty, causing an argument with Yuna. Eventually they reconcile, and a picture Uryu takes of the girls smiling goes viral.

Yae eventually produces a design of cherry blossoms and the shrine’s Koi Carp, though Uryu still scolds her for procrastinating, which flusters her. Uryu begs shop owners to set up stalls at the shrine to attract more visitors; otherwise it will be closed forever.

Soon even more visitors arrive to watch the sisters dancing on the island at the pond’s centre. With only 5 minutes remaining they have only attracted 4999 visitors, until Miemon abruptly admits they won, since they forgot he has been at the shrine all day, making him the 5000th visitor.

Uryu dreams of a lost girl he met as a young child. Yae goes drinking with classmates. Fearing for her chastity Yuna and Asahi send Uryu as her bodyguard. When Yae does indeed draw a lot of male attention Uryu is forced to claim to be her boyfriend. Her childhood friend Makoto, an actual student at Tokyo Medical University, knows they are lying and takes an immediate dislike to Uryu whom she views as a freeloader living in Yae’s house. Returning her home Uryu finds Yae’s wallet and is surprised to learn from her driving licence her legal name is Reiko Ichijoji, not Yae Amagami. Despite the late hour Yae is able to convince everyone to visit the city with Makoto to see all her favourite night time spots. Watching fireflies at the river Uryu tries to ask Yae about her real name but Makoto keeps interfering. Asahi tries to ask Uryu if he prefers Yae to her but can’t do it as she fears what his answer will be. At a convenience store Makoto continues interfering between Uryu and Yae so he ends up sharing ice creams with Yuna instead. Seeing this, Makoto starts relaxing around him, until he suddenly asks her if she knows Reiko Ichijoji. This makes her angry again and she warns him that as far as Yae is concerned Reiko Ichijoji no longer exists. | |||||

Makoto warns Uryu if he insists on knowing Reiko Ichijoji his dream will be over. They next visit Inari Shrine. Yae suggests splitting up so Uryu insists he and Yae will go together. Yuna and Asahi insist on Rock, Paper, Scissors with Yuna ending up with Uryu instead. Yae asks Asahi if she loves Uryu, shocking Asahi who falls over the fence. Yuna admits she hopes to see her mother’s spirit at the shrine. Uryu admits he sometimes wonders if the gods are watching him. Asahi calls them, explaining Yae saved her but fell down the hill. Uryu climbs down after her but encounters a mystical floating mask and is inexplicably transported into the past. Confused and believing he is a child again he encounters a lost girl; Reiko Ichijoji. Uryu briefly realises she is just like Yae and then gets confused as he has no idea who Yae is. Uryu spends the whole day with her but several men appear to fetch her, revealing she is the daughter of an important woman. Reiko doesn’t want to go as her mother controls her whole life and never lets her do anything. Uryu suddenly remembers everything about Yae and grabs Reiko’s hand to help her escape. As they run Uryu realises Yae is Reiko and he was the one many years ago who changed her life forever. | |||||
