Kouhei Inuzuka is a teacher who has been caring for his little daughter on his own since his wife's death. He's no good at cooking, so he and his daughter Tsumugi have been eating packaged meals from the convenience store. A series of events lead him one evening to a restaurant run by the mother of one of his students, Kotori. Her mother isn't there, but Kotori does her best to feed them both. It turns out Kotori is often alone since her parents are divorced and her mother is frequently not around. The three of them begin to meet and cook tasty food together.

Loved it. Finally, we get an anime again with a young that IS a young girl and not some moe-loli bait. Iīd say comparisons to Usagi Drop are most apt. Genuinely enjoy the way the daughter and dad interact with each other. Then thereīs this looming depression over the loss of his wife. Gives it a sad element. Iīm most curious if this anime will see a happy end, whatever that might entrail.

Only downside atm: Why this school girl? From the opening we know sheīll be around all the time. She even asks him to spend dinner with her. Even if she doesnīt have romantic intentions, WHY do anime need to force these "wrong" relationships into their stories? An adult, teacher no less, having an of-age female student with him just isnīt right. And if it doesnīt lead to anything romantic, then thatīs even worse, because itīs just a dumb tease. I hope Kouhei quickly finds a proper single woman so that this weirdness is put to an end.

At least Iīm hopeful this series will not end like Usagi Drop ;>
