Grief and solitude shatter when a reclusive novelist inherits her teenage niece. As they clash, hearts slowly open to warmth and understanding. If you love poignant family dramas, this is unmissable.

Reclusive novelist Makio Koudai has always preferred the company of books—but when her sister and brother-in-law pass away, Makio unexpectedly becomes the guardian of her 15-year-old niece, Asa Takumi. As they navigate grief, clashing personalities, and the challenges of living together, the two slowly open their hearts to each other, discovering warmth, understanding, and the meaning of family.
