Synopsis

Without the presence of both their deceased mother and their debt-ridden father, sisters Kyou and Asu Yamada are forced to fend for themselves. Thankfully, they at least have a roof over their heads: a small room in an old apartment spacious enough to fit both of them. However, to make ends meet, the older sister Kyou strives to juggle various part-time jobs—all while making sure that she and her younger sister can continue studying.

Despite these hardships, they are not alone. Seemingly blessed with good and kind people around them, Kyou and Asu's lives are far from miserable. Above all else, the two sisters share a precious bond that, no matter what pain, trials, or quarrels may come their way, will always remain unbreakable.

Who would I recommend this anime too, or who was this anime made for, or who can get the most out of watching this anime?

Ok, here's the picture. Imagine you're between 25-35y old. You got a job, some money, but there's always the thought in the back of your head that one day you may lose your job, end up alone with no money.

This anime is like a gentle hug, that tells you it's ok if you end up poor, because look at these sisters. They live very frugal and try to make the best out of their condition. As long as they ...

Here we go, a short review for a short show. The good in this show is that it has 2 likable main characters in the two sisters and an episodic and enjoyable plot. The one thing that is a bit annoying about the show is that it seems like they try to inject feeling into it. The moments that are supposed to be sad or tense(ish) tend to feel forced and plain weird, the exception is the last episode, but I digress.

Overall a decent show, would be better if some moments didn't feel forced.

Mixed Feelings
::QUICK REVIEW::
Story: 5 (Problem--> sad drama--> happy outcome, repeat)
Art: 8 (very clear, colorful and beautiful)
Sound: 6 (light hearted sound effects and music)
Character: 9 (Only 2 characters but you feel for them deeply)
Enjoyment: 2 (one tragic story after another hurts my soul)
Overall: 30/50 = 6.0 (I've cried too many times to admit)


::FULL REVIEW::
Theres a lot of things you can make fun of for being poor. And like in real life, it makes me feel bad watching what is essentially a situational drama about two sisters who are poor with a dead mom and a deadbeat dad. It's such a tragic type of drama some people can't ...
