Synopsis

Aiko Sato is a 90 year-old award-winning writer, who retired from her writing job. Since her retirement, she lived her life listlessly with her daughter and granddaughter.
One day, a geeky mid-aged editor man comes to ask Aiko to write an essay again. Aiko refuses his offer at the beginning, but he visits her every day with some treats...and finally, he has convinced her to agree to writing with his enthusiasm.
While the editor gets back his passion for his work again, he also faces a problem with his family. His wife wants to divorce since he works too much and keeps leaving his wife and daughter behind. After a while, Aiko’s essay book is getting loved by many people and becomes a bestseller, although the book fills with her anger.
Aiko and the editor achieved success and became best buddies at work. Yet, how would they cope with their own lives?
