Ai Morikawa is a hard-working career woman at her job in Tokyo. After a long night at work, she returned home on the last train to find a handsome boy at her door. The 16-year old Nagisa is her sister's stepson, suddenly sent to live with Ai when his parents left for an overseas job.

Story: They could have created more volume but they ended in a kind of rush to finish I think they could have developed more to the story.

2.he clearly looks like he will develop feeling for the FL
3. its showing all the shoujo troupes that will likely develop it into romance

if its not romance, then either way, they have a good relationship development where he learns to enjoy life and new things by cohabitating with the FL

Overall, I really recommend because its wholesome with how their relationship develops and how they both grow as a person through ...
