Plot

Takuya Enoki lost his mother, Yukako, in a car accident. He now lives with his father, Harumi, and two-year-old little brother, Minoru. Although Takuya is only an elementary school student, he not only does all the housework, but takes care of his little brother. When the Kimura family blames him for Minoru's constant crying one day, his stress gradually builds up. A frustrated Takuya cannot help feeling upset over Minoru, who is stressing him and taking up all his time.

Later, Takuya picks Minoru up from preschool and saves him from a brutal dog that blocked Minoru's way. After coming home and seeing Minoru crying, Takuya realizes that Minoru is just lonely and becomes ashamed of himself. From now on, Takuya learns to care for his little brother.
