Baby and Me (Akachan to Boku)
Also known as: 赤ちゃんと僕
At ten years old, Takuya Enoki has lost his mother and inherited adult responsibilities: caring for his infant brother Minoru while their father works long hours away. Cooking, cleaning, and parenting consume what should be his childhood, overshadowed by neighbors' complaints and the sting of watching friends enjoy freedom he cannot afford. Through sacrifice and struggle, Takuya discovers what family truly means.
