Nineteen-year-old Yuuta Segawa has just entered college as a freshman at the Literature Department of Tama University, which is a feat as far as he is concerned. Until three years ago, he was living with his older sister Yuri, who has been his mother-figure ever since their parents died back when he was a child and she a high-schooler. They'd spent years together, with Yuuta loving her fully and Yuri having given up on her outside life for his sake. All that changed when she married Shingo Takanashi, a middle-aged man with two daughters from previous
One day, however, he receives bad news: Yuri and Shingo disappeared together with the plane they were in while they were on vacation. After a hasty funeral, Yuuta's relatives began arguing over custodianship and distribution of the three daughters Yuri and
Yuuta's life has definitely made a turnaround: from an independent young man to an adoptive single father to three
''Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai!'' (''Listen To Me, Girls. I am Your Father!'' or ''Listen to What Papa Says!'') or just ''Papakiki!'', the official shortened title, is an ongoing 2009 [[Light Novel]] series written Tomohiro Matsu and illustrated by Yuka Nakajima (Digital Lover), currently at 9 volumes published by Super Dash Bunko, owned by Shueisha. As of present it is one of Japan's bestselling light novels, and has spawned ''six'' manga adaptations [[Multiple Demographic Appeal|aimed at various demographics]] and an [[Animated Adaptation]] aired from January to March 2012, 12 Episodes.

* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Yuuta often gets hit by Sora, either [[Clingy Jealous Girl|out of jealously]] or during an [[Accidental Pervert]] moment. Raika also tends to hit Shuntarou with a [[Paper Fan of Doom]] as well.
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Yuuta is not used to living with girls, young ones at that, and lives in a cramped six-tatami house, so he tends to walk in on the girls in the most inappropriate moments, such as while changing and using the
* [[Actor Allusion]]: An in-universe version happens in episode 5 of the anime. Yuuta's fellow tenant, whose part-time job is a minor seiyuu, first introduces herself holding a watermelon to her head (just like an evil minion in the [[Show Within a Show]] that Hina and Miu are watching), and when she decides to leave, she says "For now, I must take my leave! Goodbye!". The villainess in the show utters that exact same phrase seconds later, causing Miu to have a [[Double Take]].
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Sora seems a bit overwhelmed at Raika's bust size while the two are bathing together in episode 7.
Line 48:
* [[Book Ends]]: In the anime, both the first and final episodes feature the girls springing a surprise to their father.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Miu is born of a Russian mother.
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: Adaptations have been spawning left and
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The girls meet a kindly old woman at the beginning of episode 7, who easily makes friends with Hina. They meet her again in the next episode, under the same circumstances. {{spoiler|That woman turns out to be the landlady whose daughter gave Yuuta the eviction notice. The older woman was able to convince her daughter to pull back the notice.}}
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Nimura attracts college girls. To his credit, he doesn't act incredibly
** Yuuta doesn't fare badly either. Currently in the novels (Vol 8, as of this edit), he's got Sora & Miu (puppy love, sure, but it counts), {{spoiler|Raika, Sasha, Shiori, and Miki,}} all competing for his affections. Well, sorta. {{spoiler|Sasha}} might just be playing [[The Tease]].
* [[Children Raise You]]: Yuuta begins to notice that he used to live as a carefree college student before taking the girls in; now he has to think seriously about expenses and raising them, and even confronts his relatives who doubt his ability to become a father-figure. Also his relationships with his friends became closer because of the girls.
