Siblings. One moment you’re looking out for them and the next you feel like sharing an old, embarrassing photo of them on social media.
The joy of having siblings is to have someone who you can celebrate with and knowing you can rely on them when times are tough. Research shows that growing up with a sibling can make a positive impact on your mental and physical health and shape you to be a more empathetic person.
Growing up with a sibling also means many moments shared together, including fighting over different shows when your parents weren’t around. Now with Viu, you won’t have to fight with your siblings because the shows are so good, you’ll all end up watching it together.
Grab your popcorn, snuggle up with your siblings, and schedule a date with Viu on April 10th where you can gush about these five handpicked shows!

As she continues working and staying with Chiaka, she meets Chiaki’s two younger brothers Toma and Kanata. Chiaki, Toma and Kanata are fond of Misaki and start developing feelings for her.
