In the first episode we are introduced to a cute, but strange four-year old boy named Kotaro who has recently moved into an apartment complex. As a gesture of kindness, he delivers boxes of tissues to his new neighbors. One neighbor, Shin Karino, lives next door and is a struggling manga artist. Another is Matshuki Aktomo, who I believe is a waitress, but I’m not sure. What I do know is that she hates her job and is dealing with personal demons.
Karino accompanies Kotaro on his errands, because he is worried that a crazed predator might try to kidnap a 4-year-old boy walking around the city alone. By the end of the episode Karino is pleased that he can finally make Kotaro smile because of the clever Manga cartoons that Karino draws of Kotaro’s bandages.
I recognized quite a lot of the vocabulary in this episode. In the Japanese subtitles, I recognized the character for parents 親| Karino asked for Kotaro’s assistance using the word ちょうと| Many characters explained their actions using the connecting phrase から| When discussing his parents Kotaro used the words for mother はは and father ちち
