Kōtarō Satomi decided to live on his own when he began high school, and chose Room 106 of Corona House because it was cheap. Unfortunately, Kōtarō soon discovers that numerous otherworldly and supernatural girls also want his room for various reasons of their own, and aren't about to back down. As a result, Kōtarō and the girls find themselves forced to live together as they try to settle just who ends up with the room.
The Satomi Knights (サトミ騎士団, Satomi Kishidan) is a band of knights created by Kōtarō Satomi serving under princess Theiamillis Gre Forthorthe.
Satomi Knights member uniforms were designed somewhat resembling of Kōtarō's armor, but the design in its entirety is closer to a school uniform. The colors were blue and white, based on the Blue Knight and Alaia, and then each person's personal color was added in.
The first light novel volume was published on March 1, 2009, by Hobby Japan under their HJ Bunko imprint. As of April 2024, 45 volumes have been published, as well as two side story volumes. Online publisher J-Novel Club have licensed the light novel for an English release.[12] The company planned to release the first 31 volumes of the series (including volumes 7.5 and 8.5) as omnibus paperbacks in 2020.[13] The Kickstarter campaign to do so was successfully funded in only six hours.
