Set in a seaside child consultation center, the story follows Tsubasa Natsui (played by Fukuhara) as a new child welfare officer as he faces a variety of children and their parents and grows together with them. This will be Fukuhara's first lead role in a " Getsuku" drama.
Miho Yashima (Miu Tomita) is worried about her 3-year-old daughter Aina (Hana Nagai), who seems to be developing slower than other children, and suspects she has a child-rearing neurosis. One day, she left Aina asleep at home and went out shopping, but she couldn't get home no matter what, which caused a commotion.
Miho's husband offers to take some time off work to help raise Aina, but Kurata (Hayashi Kento) tells him, "We will take responsibility for taking care of Aina. So please support Miho for now. We want to make sure this doesn't happen again."
Later, Miho is called by Tsubasa and goes to check on Aina. Aina greets him with "Itadakimasu" (thank you for the meal) and skillfully uses her spoon to eat green peppers, which she dislikes.
"How are you able to raise her so well? No matter how many times I teach her, I never got it right...I've read parenting books and looked it up online, but I still can't do it..." Miho is shocked by her daughter's growth.
Minamino gently advised, "You don't need to look at that kind of thing. You just need to look at that child. Every child and parent is different. There is no one right answer. The reason Aina-chan can now eat by herself is because you taught her properly."
On social media, people were talking about this, saying things like, "You don't need to look at parenting books, just look at that child. What great words!", "Giba said it so well. It gave me courage", "It was like I was looking at my older self and it made me cry. If there was someone like Giba, just knowing her would be a relief", "It's not good to read too many parenting books", and "This was the most I've cried so far...When I was raising my first child, I was worried and anxious, I would panic and compare myself to others, I would notice the things I couldn't do and I would worry, so I bought a lot of parenting books."
