"Yamashita Kotaro was living a peaceful life as a publisher part-timer pretending to be a mobile phone novelist until two females suddenly appeared in his life. One is his six-year-old celebrity niece and the other is the little girl's stern manager. As he is forced to live under the same roof as the little prodigy, their differences soon manifest and disputes ensue. However, through co-habitation, Yamashita slowly comes to appreciate having a family and the warmth it brings, all the while developing a love-hate relationship with Fuji Mineko, the manager."

Although it's not one of those dramas that you would watch over and over again, I really did enjoy watching this short little drama for the first time. Some sources say that it is a family, romance, and comedy show, but I disagree. After watching the drama, I would say that it's more of a family drama. Although there are some funny moments, it definitely shouldn't be classified as a comedy. Also, it definitely isn't a romance drama either. I really don't understand how people can watch the show and get romance out of it. Anyway, it's a drama worth watching if you enjoy family based dramas.
