The series is structured like an anthology series, with every four episodes taking place in an individualized continuity in which protagonist Shōichi Kamita ends up with a different girl, yet featuring all of the same characters.

Seiren is a sequel to the similarly-structured Amagami adaptation, set in the same high school, albeit 9 years later.

Plot

Shōichi Kamita is a second-year high school student who is worried about university exams and his future. In this point in his life, he comes into contact with various girls, and the series follows Shōichi and his relationships with them.

Characters

Main characters

;Hikari Tsuneki : : The class idol of class 2-B at Kibito High School and the runner-up of last year's "Miss Santa Contest".

These major arcs are focused on three characters: Hikari Tsuneki, Toru Miyamae, and Kyōko Tōno. However, it was also noted that there were plans for character arcs involving Miu Hiyama, Makoto Kamizaki, and Ruise Sanjō in the future.
