Baby and Me

📖 SYNOPSIS

"Baby and Me" follows Takuya Enoki, a young boy thrust into adulthood after his mother's sudden death. Now, he must care for his baby brother, Minoru, while their father works long hours as a Japanese salaryman. Takuya is forced to abandon his own childhood, taking on the responsibilities of an adult: cooking meals, sewing clothes, and disciplining Minoru. This new life is a challenge, and Takuya struggles with the burden, often feeling grief and resentment towards the brother who demands so much of his time and energy. The anime explores Takuya's journey as he navigates these difficult circumstances, learning to cope with loss and find love for the brother who has changed his life. The setting is a typical Japanese environment, highlighting the contrast between Takuya's forced maturity and the carefree lives of his peers.
