A family adjusts to a different path through early childhood

In this first volume, new mother Aya confronts a widening difference between her daughter Mu-chan’s development and that of other children. The possibility that Mu-chan is autistic unsettles Aya’s expectations of motherhood, while she and her husband begin to work out how to support their daughter. The manga frames early childhood development through the family’s experience, connecting communication and behavior with parental uncertainty and the practical challenge of moving forward together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult manga readers interested in family life and parenting
  • Readers seeking a story about autism and a family’s early experiences

Book overview

First-time mother Aya can't help noticing her daughter, Mu-chan, won't say "Mama" or "Dada" like other kids--in fact, she shows little interest in communicating with her parents at all or in sitting still. When Aya finds out Mu-chan might be autistic, the idea of her child having a developmental delay shatters her vision of motherhood and leaves her spiraling in uncertainty. As the gap between Mu-chan and her peers widens, Aya and her husband must rally to support their daughter on her journey forward, hand in hand!
