Plot Ayako Katsuragi, a woman in her thirties, has spent the past decade raising her niece Miu as her own daughter after her sister and brother-in-law died in an accident. As Miu enters high school, Ayako begins to notice signs of first love and assumes it involves their kind, college-aged neighbor Takumi "Takkun" Aterazawa, who has tutored Miu since childhood. Believing Takumi to be a suitable match, Ayako prepares herself for the possibility that he may ask for her daughter's hand. Instead, Takkun confesses that his feelings are not for Miu, but for Ayako, revealing that he has long admired her. Caught off guard by the age gap and her responsibility as Miu's guardian, Ayako struggles with how such a relationship might affect her family.
