58-year-old Gentaro Ito lives with his wife Chizuru in a house in Tokyo. Each of their three daughters should have left home and lived well.

Their 25-year-old second daughter, Rika, wedded a highly educated man and lives in Osaka but the couple are on the brink of divorce. Their youngest daughter, 22-year-old Mika, is also single, and the moment she gets to start living on her own, she half-cohabits with a man who does not seem like he will be a successful manga artist.

Oomae Haruko is an A+ Temp worker who never cracks a smile or minces words, and leaves work on the dot. But her cynical nature indicates she has something painful to hide.
