Story
Elementary school student Shizukuishi Miko was born to a poor family. Tired of being made responsible for all the housework by her mother, Riko, and three siblings, she hopes to escape from the harsh reality. One day, Miko takes up a ballet class to get a taste of fairy-tale life just like everyone else. That is when she sees her friend, Jakuzure Natsuko, has brought five older brothers with her, and learns about the existence of ‘Onii-chan Gacha’. Miko is initially bewildered, but her disgust at the very unappealing reality prompts her to insert a coin to play with ‘Onii-chan Gacha’, a vending machine which dispenses toys in plastic capsules. She turns the handle as she wishes for a kind brother. Her world undergoes a drastic change from that day on. Older brothers who are like fantasies, appear before her one after another. The older brother who always smiles, the handsome older brother, the older brother who looks a wee bit scary but always protects her … … Which brother will Miko choose?
