Not quite the kind of anime I'd usually watch, but after sampling the first episode I was curious to see how they'd get the characters to fit... in the end it turned out to be a very cute child psychology kinda tale. A young mother gets too depressed after her husband dies and abandons her 5-yrs-old girl, who is taken in by family members. The older brother, a popular high-school gigolo, is stuck with taking care of her, walking her to school, cooking her lunch, sleeping with her... a bit unrealistic perhaps (who'd entrust a teenager with the proper nutrition for a growing body when he can't even boil white rice, offering no help and not even checking what he does?? and there *is* a mother that makes lunch for everyone?!) but it does touch on some important and tender points in everyone's childhood. Well, at least in the one of those like us that endured the joys of a dysfunctional family...
