A heartwarming drama about a man who doesn't leave his room. Together with his mom's dedication and the abrupt forced interaction with his sister's family including an angsty tweenager and an energetic toddler, he manages to finally - well - leave his room. The relationship between Masaharu and his niece/nephew is one of the central stories, but my favorite part is Masaharu's relationship with his mom. The joy mom gets when her son finally sees the sunlight for the first time in years got me.

There are little to no conflicts, and no happy ending here other than life continues on as usual, but that doesn't mean today isn't a better day than yesterday. You know it's a great slice of life with no melodrama when the most dramatic scenes are those of the R&D department that makes snacks for kids. The tomatoessssss.
