Tono-sama to Watashi

Overview

This story presents a harsh life drama that transcends the boundaries of a typical family drama, dealing with issues such as elderly couples caring for each other, an aging society with a declining birthrate, and young people leaving their jobs due to caregiving responsibilities. Based on the author's years of experience caring for and supporting her own parents, she fictionalizes the struggles of a father and daughter in the caregiving sphere. At some point, she finds herself caring for a father who is a typical Showa-era father—a lordly figure—all by herself. She battles against his tyranny, including his selfishness, abusive language, and unilateral actions. Utilizing the author's unique sense of humor and character portrayal, the story is sometimes humorous and at other times offers a serious reflection on family issues. (Source: Futabasha, translated)
