A brief about The Shiunji Family Children

Reiji Miyajima launched the manga on his Fanbox account on February 22, 2022, and in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine on February 25 that same year. Hakusensha will publish the manga's fourth compiled book volume on wednesday. The manga went on hiatus in June 2022 so that Miyajima could maintain a steady drawing schedule, and the series returned in November 2022.

Yen Press has licensed it in English, describing the story of the first volume:

"The love between brother and sister. The love between man and woman. That which is most forbidden is most unyielding. The two sons and five daughters of the Shiunji family shine like brilliant gems, each with intelligence and beauty in equal measure.

And with the pedigree of their wealthy father behind them, how could they not be the talk of the town? Eldest son Arata has spent his life being tossed around by the whims of his colorful sisters, yet a little teasing won’t stop him from valuing his family over anything and anyone else. But when his youngest sister turns fifteen, their father reveals a long-hidden secret of the Shiunji “siblings” and knocks Arata’s world off its axis…"
