Series by 小沢真理

In the Yamagiwa household, it's just the guys: high schooler Fuyuma, his 4-year-old brother Haruki, and their easygoing father. Since losing their mother, Fuyuma has taken on the role of caretaker, balancing household chores and looking after Haruki while juggling student life and band practice. Haruki, adored by both his brother and father, is slowly growing up under their loving, if sometimes chaotic, care. As the family navigates their daily routines and heartfelt moments, they discover the warmth and strength of their bond.

High school senior Ritsu Hayakawa leads a seemingly perfect life—top grades, good looks, and a reputation as the "miracle" of his family. But when his mother falls ill and is hospitalized, Ritsu steps into the kitchen for the first time to care for his younger siblings, Shirabe and Kanade. What starts as a necessity soon becomes a journey of discovery, as Ritsu finds joy and connection in cooking, weaving together meals that bring warmth to their home. Through shared dishes and quiet moments at the family table, Ritsu and his siblings navigate grief, growth, and the bonds that hold them together.
