Wakaba Mano and her husband Toru recently bought a house and moved to the Tokyo suburbs. Wakaba had a tough time because of her freespirited son Takeru who made her isolated from other gossiping mothers in his former kindergarten. In this new town, Wakaba is so determined to blend in with the others. One day, Wakaba met Saito-san a 30-year-old housewife. Since her husband is always abroad for business, she is responsible for protecting her only son Junichi’s future. Junichi goes to the same kindergarten as Takeru, where other parents all seem to avoid Saito-san because she is too straightforward. For Saito-san, what is wrong is wrong. She is never afraid of confronting bad mannered people. The righteous, dignified lone mother Saito-san’s way of life gradually influences Wakaba and the other people in town.
