You Like Me, Not My Daughter?!

A decade ago, Ayako took in her orphaned niece, Miu, as her own. They now share a close mother-daughter bond, but being a young single mom hasn’t been easy for Ayako. Good thing Miu’s childhood friend Takumi has been there for the family every step of the way. After all these years, he’s grown into a kind, handsome young man—just the kind of guy Ayako would like to see Miu date. In fact, when Takumi asks to speak with Ayako privately one day, she can’t wait to give the young couple her blessing. But little does she know it’s not Miu that Takumi has fallen for... It’s her! How will Ayako handle the romantic feelings of the boy who’s meant so much to her family? And what will it all mean for her relationship with her daughter?

It was a bumpy road getting here, but things have finally settled down for Ayako and Takumi, who have decided to take it slow and avoid making any dramatic changes to their relationship. At least, that was what Ayako thought they had decided. Just when she feels like she can finally relax, Takumi asks her out on a date! After focusing on nothing but raising her daughter for the last decade, Ayako has no idea how to mentally prepare for an event like this. The pressure’s on for Takumi as well—he’s spent the last ten years dreaming of their first date, so it has to be perfect! Will the couple manage to get over their nerves and have a night to remember? Or is their first date end before it’s even begun?

Despite several twists and turns, Ayako and Takumi finally managed to have a successful first date. It’s looking like Ayako will be able to come to terms with Takumi’s feelings at her own pace...or so she thinks until her daughter suddenly lays down the gauntlet, declaring that she’s gunning for Takumi! Now forced to choose between accepting Takumi’s feelings or handing him over to her daughter, will Ayako finally come to see him as a potential partner? Or will her daughter’s advances close the book on her and Takumi’s romance forever?
