After Mizukis death everyone is struggling to come to grips with reality. Her parents are devasted, her not be boyfriend is and of course her daughter Umi is. For Natsu her ex, his world changes daramatically after he learns he has a daughter and his struggles just begin. His GF also struggles with a decision she felt she should not have made, but she is also the reason Umi exists, even when both of them never knew each other. While the do not force each other to be a "happy" family they bond through Umi in another way.

This show is an exceptional series depicting the feelings of all persons involved. I would call it a tear-dropper. We get everything from the happy moments to the sadest moments and everything inbetween. The only thing we don't get is a conventional happy familiy, which is not a bad choice at all. In the end all of them support each other having bonded through Umi which is a very happy end indeed.

I can only recommand this show. If you are sensitive you may watch this kind of drama with friends and/or family because it could wear you down. The only thing I don't understand is, why Umi-chan is not a main lead because acting in such heavy stuff must be vey challenging for a seven year old girl. Besides her the cast was exceptional, the cinematography top notch and everything was executed to perfection.
