Our newlywed home is in Nezu, Bunkyō—an area still rich with Edo-period charm. The location is perfect… except it’s right on my husband’s family property. As a work-from-home writer, I now live just steps away from my mother-in-law—a woman with flawless posture, impeccable manners, and a lifestyle of spotless cleaning and three handmade meals a day. Compared to my own careless habits, we couldn’t be more different… or so I thought. To my surprise, things take an unexpected turn in this quirky slice-of-life story.
