==Synopsis==
Kanbara Tokiko is a radio personality who lost her mother 20 years ago and her father, Tetsuya, is her only relative. The father and daughter would always quarell whenever they meet but they have been catching up with each other while having meals together once in a while. One day, Tokiko decides to release an essay about her father. Whenever Tokiko goes and collects information about her father, she will hear memories of her family which are not always good. These include how her father met her mother, how he lost his entire fortune, and the existence of another woman. What will happen to Tokiko's love-hate relationship with her father?

Also, Tokiko has a radio programme "Tokki to Hitotoki", which has a trouble counseling corner where Tokiko will give advices for various problems, such as marital relationships, friendships, social media community, and appearances.
