Binbou Shimai Monogatari

The Yamada sisters, 15-year-old Kyou and 9-year-old Asu, live together after their mother's death and father's departure due to debt. Their daily lives are a balancing act, with Kyou working part-time and Asu managing household chores and finances. The sisters' struggles are somewhat alleviated by the law change allowing Kyou to work, and they also receive support from their kind neighbors, including novelist Saegusa-san and the aunt at the public bath.
