[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Seven hundred years before, a young Prince Yosho had met a young girl before the annual Startica celebration on Jurai. However, it turned out that the girl was actually a demon named Yuzuha and was driven away by the palace guards.

Seven hundred years later, Yuzuha discovers that Yosho is now on Earth... and has a grandson - Tenchi Masaki - who is surrounded by all sorts of women. Looking for revenge, the demon obtains hair from Tenchi, during a Christmas celebration and combines it with hair from herself and creates a girl named Mayuka.

Six months later during summer; the usual situations are taking place with the women fighting. Tenchi goes to clean his mother's grave-stone, when he is met by a strange girl, Mayuka, who called Tenchi "Papa." Confused, and knowing not else what to do, Tenchi takes her back to the shrine to stay with the others, until a solution can be had.

Spoilers end here.
