OtaHub's take
Makio Koudai is a reclusive novelist who has always preferred the company of books. When her sister and brother-in-law pass away, she unexpectedly becomes guardian of her 15-year-old niece, Asa Takumi. The two work through grief, clashing personalities and the challenges of living together, slowly opening their hearts and discovering warmth, understanding and the meaning of family.
Verdict
A fit for viewers who like quiet slice-of-life drama that goes deep into emotion and family relationships. This is the first season and the data lists no prequel, so you can start from episode one.
