Plot
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 does not want to at all, and actively tries to avoid it at all costs.

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.
