Summary: |
"The
Yamada sisters, Kyo (15) and Asu (9), are students studying in
secondary and primary schools respectively. Their mother has
passed away while their father ran away after incurring debts
due to gambling. Despite the difficult circumstances, both of
them decide to overcome the unhappiness and welcome their days
with enthusiasm and pride. Fortunately, with the change in the
law system several years ago, Kyo is able to study and
simultaneously, take up temporary jobs (such as distributing
newspapers and tutoring) so as to support the family and make
ends meet. On the other hand, Asu will take charge of household
chores, prepare meals and manage the financials to assist her
older sister. Surrounding them are also good and kind neighbours
such as the novelist, Saegusa-san, and the aunt at the public
bath who will watch over them. Although life is difficult and at
times painful, the sisters are happy to have each other."
