Plot
Plot
After the untimely death of his wife, Takae, Keisuke Niijima becomes a shell of his former self. He closes himself off, wallowing in his own despair, not paying any attention to his now adult daughter, Mai. One night while eating store-bought dinners, they answer the door to an elementary school student named Marika Shiraishi, who claims to be the reincarnation of Takae. Keisuke initially dismisses this until Marika reveals certain details that only Takae would have known, proving that she is in fact, Takae in an elementary school student's body. Takae immediately scolds both of them for living such unfulfilling, sad lives and helps them get back on track.
