Since the death of their parents years past, Junna and Senna have been living alone in the big house their parents left them.
Together they attend Sakurahama Private High School, where several select girls obliviously use and abuse Junna for their own needs–Kishida Tomo, pretty and anti-social; the booksmart and efficient Iida Akino; Ohtori Tsubasa, head of the Help Club and highly in demand; Fujie Sana, cute as a button but with the intelligence of a box of rocks. And then there’s the new girl, Inohara Haruhi–an old childhood friend of Junna’s that’s come to claim her “onii-chan” (brother). Strangely, Junna barely remembers Haruhi from his childhood…and Senna doesn’t want him to.

Kaede is a cheerful and energetic eighth grader. When it comes to boys, however, she is hopelessly shy.
One day, on her way home from school, Kaede walks into a mysterious shop and buys a colorful cocoa mug. When she reaches home, she casually peeks into the bottom of the mug and discovers an engraved note, which says, "If you read this message aloud while pouring hot cocoa into the mug, a love fairy ("muglox") will appear and grant your every wish." The skeptical but curious Kaede follows the directions and announces her wish to date Yuuki, the class heartthrob. Suddenly, the adorable blue Mirumo appears! We soon find out, however, that this cute little muglox would rather eat chocolate and create mischief than help Kaede.

Hot on his heels, however, are Rirumu, Yashichi the bounty hunter, and a cast of hundreds of muglox ranging from the good to the bad to the nutty.
