Synopsis

Kikuko Misuji, more often called "Nikuko-chan," is known by everyone in her small northern town as the happy fat lady at the grill. Having lived arduously traveling from man to man and town to town for the bulk of her life, Nikuko-chan finally seems to have settled down on a houseboat docked in the bay with her daughter—also named Kikuko. Together, the pair does their best to find their place in the world. For the bold and brash Nikuko-chan, her spirited behavior easily guides her toward the earnest goal. However, for the quiet and reserved Kikuko, who is often embarrassed by her mother's antics, each day can be just as uninspiring as the last. From middle school drama to solving the mystery of her strange classmate Ninomiya, Kikuko's adolescence is full of many twists and turns.

i enjoyed this movie~!! its a film for life.. for me its a very-lowkey movie. the art was beautiful, especially those shots of the town from up the hill was so stunning ✨ the art was almost comparable to that of ghibli, except more expressive. Nikuko's character is indeed carefree, the introduction is told with great pride and admiration of her strength. 🥹 Nikuko is a good mother and Kikuko is also a good daughter, i feel very emotional with their Mother-Daughter moments. everything about them feels genuine and heartwarming. overall, the animation is absolutely stunning and the characters are funny, compelling, and relatable. 💖 i do recommend this for those who enjoy slice of life and drama anime. Jya neh~! 😉

乁⁠|⁠ ⁠・⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠・⁠ ⁠|⁠ㄏno me esperaba ese tipo de intro, uno no saca los secretos de la mamá así nada más, aunque era ... curioso sorpresivamente la animación fue super fluida jajajaja, es que es increíble el esmero en esa parte, además es un buen resumen te dice quién es el personaje, su contexto y sus fallas, todo en cuestión de minutos El pueblo me gusta bastante, como buen pueblo costero respetaron el efecto del salitre en los objetos y de verdad parece un pueblito costero, el cambio de luces en el cambio de hora también fue hermoso, y se vé mucho cuidado en el detalle de los fondos, hubo una escena llegando al final que me impactó porque fue como "oye pero qué pasó?" ヽ⁠༼⁠⁰⁠o⁠⁰⁠;⁠༽⁠ノ, no sé si decir si quiera que era la misma animación, me recordó mucho a la animación anime de lo 90 principios de los 2000 Por momentos me saca unas risitas, me recuerda un poco a mi mamá, la época adolescente es muy rara, recordando, antes me daba mucha vergüenza pero ahora como adulta lo veo y me da risa y nostalgia La peli es un slice of life puro, todo desde el punto de vista de una niña empezando la adolescencia, por lo menos a mí me generó nostalgia y risa, me hizo recordar como antes tantas cosas parecían el fin del mundo, es algo que recomiendo fuertemente ver, los personajes se sienten reales, todos imperfectos haciendo lo mejor que pueden
