The Single Life

Otokoya Moume is a divorced company worker who lives alone and his apartment is a mess. Moguro offers him a free housekeeper, Shigeko, who has a young daughter, but he prefers living alone and sacks her. However, he then misses her housekeeping and her cooking. He asks Moguro to bring her back, but Otokoya must promise not become romantically involved with her. However, Otokoya proposes marriage, only to find that Shigeko has reconciled with her burly husband and Otokoya's ex-wife has left their small children at his doorstep. They all then move into his small apartment with him.
