Takuya Enoki finds himself grappling with the challenges of life well beyond his years as a mere fifth grader. Tragedy struck their family when Takuya's mother met with a fatal car accident a few months ago, thrusting him into an unexpected role of caretaker for his infant brother, Minoru. With his father toiling away tirelessly as a typical Japanese salaryman, it falls upon young Takuya to shoulder the responsibilities and ensure his brother's well-being. Beneath the weight of these newfound responsibilities, Takuya must reluctantly bid farewell to his carefree childhood. Engulfed in a whirlwind of household chores, culinary exploits, fretful moments, and attempts at disciplining his wailing sibling, Takuya faces the criticism of his neighbors who unfairly accuse him for Minoru's incessant cries. Meanwhile, his peers revel in the unrestrained joys of youth, gleefully savoring their leisurely moments. Throughout this arduous journey, Takuya gradually uncovers the essence of family and the profound lessons it brings forth.
