SYNOPSIS
Katakura Kippei lives for one thing: chasing girls. His high school days are a blur of flirtation and zero responsibility. That all stops the moment he walks through his apartment door to find a five-year-old girl waiting for him. Yuzuyu is his cousin, abandoned by her mother and now entirely dependent on him. Kippei has no idea how to cook, clean, or comfort a traumatized child. Yuzuyu, meanwhile, struggles with abandonment and clings to the one person she has left. What unfolds is a comedy wrapped in genuine emotion. Kippei stumbles through fatherhood in ways that are both hilarious and heartbreaking. His playboy instincts clash violently with the demands of raising a little girl who needs stability and love. Yuzuyu slowly learns to trust again, while Kippei discovers that maturity isn't something you're born with, it's something you choose to become. This is about two broken people healing each other. One learns what it means to be needed. The other learns she can depend on someone.
