Plot summary

Brash single mother Nikuko is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her pensive yet imaginative daughter. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school. Life in the harbor is peaceful until a shocking revelation from the past threatens to uproot the pair's tender relationship.

Eye pleasing

October 4, 2025 The first anime I've watched in a long time. It's visually pleasing, with beautiful colors and very cute characters, and I cried at the end.I really liked the music at the end. The art is legendary, and I stopped every now and then to admire it. Mashallah.That girl reminded me of myself, probably why I cried.
