One day, a couple comes, but the wife is so shy that she always lowers her head. The owner of the studio tries all kinds of tricks to get her to smile and eventually succeeds. One year later, the couple comes again, but this time they bring their daughter along. She always looks grumpy, and again, the owner has to try everything to get her to smile. Thus starts a long-running relationship between the girl and the owner, and time passes to years and then decades...

Top reasons
- Cohort rating percentile - 62th percentile within season cohort
- Committee renewal track record - Lead committee members (Studio Colorido) have a smoothed catalogue continuation rate of 17%, above the catalogue average of 14%
- Titles like this rarely return - 13 years with no new entry: of films (first entries) in that position, under 1% got a new season or film within 10 years
This is an anime original, not an adaptation, so there is no source material to run down - renewal turns on sales and popularity rather than runway.
