Synopsis

One day, manga author Shin Karino is greeted by four-year-old Kotarou Satou, his new next-door neighbor, who gifts him a box of tissues. In Karino's eyes, Kotarou is an odd kid: he speaks in an extremely formal manner and lives alone in his apartment—no parents or relatives in sight. But Kotarou neither seems to mind nor wants to rely on people. Feeling sympathetic toward Kotarou's circumstances, Karino decides to follow him to a bathhouse. There, he comes to understand that the little boy is not so different from him. Little by little, Karino—along with the other residents of the apartment complex—grows fond of Kotarou and his antics. At the same time, Kotarou himself might have found something akin to a family in his unique neighbors.
