Koro, who works as the manager of an izakaya, tells the staff with a lovestruck look on his face about the time Shiho took care of his neighbor Reiko's (Noriko Eguchi) eldest daughter (Yoshitama Honoka), saying, "She's so small, soft, and plump, and she's just so cute. Well, my daughter Ichigo (Nagai Kana) is the cutest though!"
However, Torarou also revealed that he felt a little lonely. "When he smelled milk or stood up, it was all over in an instant. I'm happy that he's growing up, but I wish he'd grow up a little more slowly," he said, letting his true feelings slip out.
On social media, comments such as, "There were many difficult times when my daughter was little, but I really understand that you want her to grow up slowly, just like Tora-san. I have lots of fun memories," "Tora-papa is head over heels in love with Ichigo," "I want her to grow up slowly...I understand Tora-san! If possible, I wish my daughter would grow up again," and "Tora-o is so lovey-dovey and cute."
The film is based on the novel "Taigan no Kaji" (Housework on the Other Side) by Kiko Akano (published by Kodansha Bunko). It depicts the "endless work" of housework through the protagonist's interactions with "people on the other side" who have different positions and ways of thinking than her.
