Yae-chan and her mother, Sachie, have been living with two teenage boarders, Tatami and Makishi, long enough now that they feel like they’re family. They might be especially close due to all the randomness they’ve had to endure together: creepy ghost stories, devastating swimsuits, and overwhelming auras from cute guys, just to name a few. But the real question remains: Will Yae-chan cut her fabulously long, and fabulously blue, hair?

Author and illustrator Hai-ran has created charming characters while creating an intriguing way of experiencing the manga form: each panel consists of a triptych of illustrations with their own title and mini-storyline that relates to a larger overarching theme.
