The joke lands every time: a grown man living under the roof of a middle schooler who somehow became his landlord, and she's the one keeping his life together while he's useless at everything. The pacing refuses to let a gag breathe long enough for you to question the premise, which means you're laughing before your brain catches up to what you're watching. Twelve minutes total means you're in and out before the absurdity wears thin, which is exactly how this show survives on fumes and timing alone.
Maeda has just found a job and moves into a cramped apartment with no bath, living on his own for the first time. As he unpacks, a middle school girl named Chie Satonaka appears in his room and introduces herself as the owner of the building. She looks like the little sister he never had, yet her skill at cooking and housework often makes her seem far older than she is. His glamorous neighbor, Reiko Shirai, jealously tries to keep the cute landlord all to herself. Told in short episodes, this slice-of-life comedy shows his quiet solo life turning unexpectedly lively.
