Perspective
The stage is set at Yuhigacho 3-chome in Shitamachi, Tokyo, Japan in 1959 .
The relatives of the Suzuki family temporarily foster their daughter Mika ( played by Koike Ayame ) at the Suzuki family. Norifumi ( played by Shinichi Tsutsumi ), Chie ( played by Hiroko Yakushimaru ) and Rokuko ( played by Maki Horikita ) are all very welcoming, but Ippei ( played by Ichiki Koshimizu ) is very unfriendly to Mika.
Across from the Suzuki family, Ryunosuke ( Hidetaka Yoshioka ) continues to raise Junnosuke ( Kenta Suga ), but Junnosuke's biological father Kawabuchi ( Fumiyo Kohinata ) keeps trying to take his son back. Ryunosuke promises Kawabuchi that he will let Junnosuke live a normal life. However, with the rise in prices, Ryunosuke's family life is indeed getting more and more difficult. Junnosuke even secretly decides to save money for his lunch, which even shocks the school teachers.
Guangmei ( Xue Xiao ) has to work in a striptease venue to pay off the debt for her father's medical treatment. A boss in Osaka wants to marry her as his second wife.
Ryunosuke made a desperate attempt to challenge the Akutagawa Prize again . This time, his work was finally selected as the finalist of the Akutagawa Prize, and the people of San-chome were happy for him. However, a man who claimed to be a judge of the Akutagawa Prize came to tell Ryunosuke that he should definitely win the prize, but he lacked "socializing". The people of San-chome raised money for Ryunosuke...
