The manga centers on 35-year-old novelist Makio Koudai and her 15-year-old niece Asa, who live together under one roof. Makio took Asa in on a sudden impulse after Asa's parents, which included Makio's older sister, passed away. The next day, Makio returns to her senses and remembers that she does not do well in the company of other people. So begins their daily life, as Makio attempts to acclimate to a roommate, while Asa attempts to get used to an adult that never acts like one. [ANN]
The dialogue resonates so well and it’s so simple and realistic. I can’t get enough of it. I love found family tropes so much. I really hope this gets published in English. I wanted to squeal so many times reading this because the moments here are conveyed so well. This was such a therapeutic read.
The daily lives of a 15-year-old orphan and the 35-year-old lady novelist she ends up living with, and what happens when two polar opposite worlds try to -awkwardly- interact.
