Overview
Chise’s dad is an author. Her mom has become a star in the night sky. Although it’s just the two of them living together, Chise and her dad live a bright and cheerful life. Aiming for a free-spirited and creative single-father family, they sometimes make silly mistakes—but they keep going. This beloved series follows the brave and determined elementary school girl Chise as she courageously faces the grown-up world!
