Plot

A 27-year-old office worker and bachelor named Daikichi notices a little girl named Rin at his grandfather’s funeral. He soon discovers that she’s actually the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather by an unknown mother, and that there’s really no one else around to care for her due to the social stigma attached.

Unwilling to place Rin in care as other family members urge him to, Daikichi instead decides to take on the responsibility of raising her himself. Although Daikichi is a bit clumsy at first due to his inexperience with children, he does the best he can as the unorthodox relationship he has with his 6-year-old half-aunt slowly evolves into one of a father and daughter.
