Description
The manga centers on 35-year-old novelist Makio Koudai and her 15-year-old niece Asa, who live together under one roof. Makio took Asa in on a sudden impulse after Asa's parents, which included Makio's older sister, passed away. The next day, Makio returns to her senses and remembers that she does not do well in the company of other people. So begins their daily life, as Makio attempts to acclimate to a roommate, while Asa attempts to get used to an adult that never acts like one. [ANN]

Pretty good read can't say wholesome but it was good story delving deep into serious categories but leaving that hopeful and fulfilling taste at the end

Feels like a novel, good story telling and the art is really expressive while maintaining minimalism.

This author's work is pretty hit and miss for me, but this was a big hit.

beautiful storytelling, honestly.
i love the art and how yamashita tomoko makes a constant emphasis on how your feelings are yours only.
The characters are great and relatable, its definitely a manga that tells a solid story about two people learning to live with each other, friendship ups and downs, family ups and downs, grief, im always happy to see it update.

Besides telling a solid story, this manga is singularly great at depicting social anxiety, social awkwardness, introversion, and feeling uncomfortable in social interactions.
