At the funeral the attendees learn that Daikichi's grandfather bore an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mother. The girl's name is Rin (Mana Ashida) and she is just six years old. Everybody in Daikichi's family looks at the girl as an embarrassment and wants no part of her. Daikichi, annoyed by his family's attitude, decides to raise Rin by himself.

Steve Apr 21 2022 9:07 pm TBH boring film... Mirei is in it but barely in it.. I am obsessed by that woman. She is so thin and attractive..

FromPHwithlove Nov 06 2017 6:00 am I watched the anime first before watching the movie and they did a pretty good job in the adaptation. Kenichi-kun is so adorable!!

ace Nov 26 2014 1:09 pm There are three things that I was struck by when watching this. First, the factory that Daikichi Kawachi works at really has a lot of workers on the conveyor. So close together it might have been faster and easier to just bucket-brigade it. Secondly, the little son of the woman you are about to kiss will always #@%$ block you. Third is that Mana Ashida is so adorable. Granted, pretty much any kid is adorable. But she certainly acts adorable. I didn't realize but I saw her in Marumo no Okite, which I also liked. All-in-all it is a cute heartwarming story. The lead actor did a great job playing the impetuous young man choosing to raise his little Aunt the best he can.

Livingdead May 21 2014 10:35 pm The anime version is so much better than this. Why should add unnecessary scene??

Ni Jul 11 2013 11:59 am just finished watching this, i kept it on hold for several months...finally i had the chance to watch it n_n ... i really love this movie. Daikichi wa totemo yasashii no chichi and i love the chemisthry between him n Rin, so sweet and beautiful story.
