The manga is produced by the studio renowned for hit titles like “The Orbital Children” and “Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction”. This studio has now brought us a story centered around Hiroto Ikuta, a 29-year-old freelancer working at a fishing pond, who is beloved by the elderly patrons. Originally from Yamagata, Hiroto had to abandon his aspirations of acting due to unsuccessful auditions. He frequently spent time with Hanae Wada, an 83-year-old former school cook living on a pension, and they often enjoyed meals together. Following her unexpected death from a heart attack, he inherits her home as per prearranged papers. Later, he takes on the role of guardian for his 18-year-old cousin, Natsumi Kobayashi, who shifts in with him while she gears up to apply to art school.
1 million copies are currently in circulation, and Viz Media is set to publish the series in English starting from May 2024. This beloved series stands out for its captivating art that exudes warmth and happiness, and its realistic portrayal of daily life makes it an exceptional slice-of-life manga perfect for unwinding. It has already garnered numerous accolades, including the Grand Prize in the 27th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. The fact that Hirayasumi was born from the creator’s recovery from lymphoma adds a heartfelt and passionate touch to the story. Even with an upcoming anime adaptation, fans of manga would be wise to explore this moving and emotional tale that promises to captivate audiences in the near future.
